Calvert-Lewin opens up on Leeds form, England role and Trafford debate
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been speaking at length about his resurgent form at Leeds United and what it means for his England prospects, with several outlets picking up on his comments this week.
LeedsLive reports that the 29-year-old says he is in a "very good place" at Elland Road, having defied doubters to become a key figure for Leeds this season, and he has explained what he believes is behind that upturn in form (LeedsLive).
The Yorkshire Evening Post focuses on the international picture, noting Calvert-Lewin describes his England role as being in a "difficult position" given the competition for the centre-forward spot, pointing out that his job for his country looks quite different to the one he does week to week for Leeds (Yorkshire Evening Post). LeedsUnited.com's official account covers similar ground, with the striker - described as the Premier League's top-ranked forward in the piece - discussing the role he is being asked to play for his country following his recall to the England set-up (LeedsUnited.com).
Elsewhere, LeedsLive also carries comments from Calvert-Lewin on the goalkeeping situation in the England squad, with the striker giving his take on the battle between James Trafford and the current England number one, pointing to his own experience of playing alongside both keepers at club level to offer some insight into the debate (LeedsLive).
Taken together, the outlets paint a picture of a player enjoying a real purple patch at Leeds and using that form to push his case on the international stage, while also being candid about the pecking order he faces with England. For Leeds supporters, the overriding message is a positive one: their striker is thriving at Elland Road and attracting attention well beyond West Yorkshire as a result.
