Dominic Calvert-Lewin reacts as West Ham announce free transfer signing
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has shared an instant reaction after West Ham agreed a free transfer deal.
The ex-England international has been available for nothing since departing Everton at the end of his contract after nine seasons.
There has been no shortage of interest in the 28-year-old’s signature due to his Premier League pedigree despite his huge frustration with frequent injuries.
With that being said, the striker has now reacted on social media after an agreement was struck at the London Stadium.
Calvert-Lewin reacts after West Ham agreement
There is no getting away from the fact that the Irons are in need of forward options after the struggles of Niclas Fullkrug since his big-money move.
This has seen a number of strikers linked with the role in East London despite a deal being yet to go through at this stage of the summer.
A free transfer move could be on the cards for someone like Calvert-Lewin, while Callum Wilson could join after leaving Newcastle United.
| Stat (Premier League) | Callum Wilson | Dominic Calvert-Lewin |
| Appearances | 239 | 273 |
| Goals | 88 | 71 |
| Assists | 25 | 22 |
As it stands, the number nine position is yet to be filled, instead, Graham Potter has seemingly opted to build from the back this summer.
This has seen Kyle Walker-Peters join the Irons on a free transfer of his own, with the Irons sharing news of this via Instagram (20 July).
In reaction to this news, Calvert-Lewin liked the post, potentially pointing to a future E20 move before the window comes to a close.
Walker-Peters confirms West Ham move
It had looked as if the Englishman was going to complete a surprising move to Besiktas after his departure from Southampton at the end of the campaign.
For whatever reason, that move fell through and handed the claret and blue outfit the perfect chance to sign long-term target Walker-Peters.
This has seen the 28-year-old add to the full-back depth, El Hadji Malick Diouf, at the London Stadium, ready for the new season.
It will certainly be interesting now to see whether Calvert-Lewin is going to follow this duo through the doors in East London, or whether his reaction was a complete coincidence.
