Leeds Move to Secure Calvert-Lewin
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is set to commit his future to Leeds United by signing a new contract at Elland Road. The England striker, aged 29, has made a strong impact since joining the Whites on a free transfer from Everton. He has scored 20 goals in 49 appearances for Leeds, while his current agreement already runs until 2028.

Manchester United Link Complicated by Rivalry
The development is a setback for Manchester United, who are looking at adding a forward in the January transfer window after Benjamin Sesko was ruled out for an extended period while recovering from a shin injury.
United have been linked with Calvert-Lewin and a possible January move, with the Old Trafford club exploring the market for centre-forwards. The Leeds striker is among the names being considered, but a transfer is regarded as very unlikely due to the rivalry between the two clubs.

England Involvement Remains Part of the Picture
Calvert-Lewin was recalled to the England squad by Thomas Tuchel in March. Although he missed out on selection for the World Cup, he was chosen for the most recent Nations League matches. He earned his 14th England cap on 6 October in the 3-0 victory over the Czech Republic.
