West Ham would make a ‘massive’ statement if they could sign Dominic Calvert-Lewin from Everton.

The Hammers have been linked with a shocking move for the Toffees striker.

The Sun claim that Everton want to recoup some of the money from their years of overspending with a price tag of £60m for the 24-year-old.

The report adds that the fee would be too high for West Ham at the moment, but if that changes they will be at the front of the queue.

The striker has played just four times for the Toffees this season, scoring three times, due to injury problems.

Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino thinks this would be a great statement of intent from West Ham if they can get over the line.

“David Moyes will know his qualities, obviously, and watched him develop as a player. He loves playing center forward,” Cascarino told Weekend Sports Breakfast.

“We talked about the death of the nine, he is probably the best header of the forwards there is. It’s fantastic in the air.

“He started the season well, certainly the previous season he scored a lot of goals.

“He is the best around and still at a tender age.

“Judging him yesterday is impossible. He is unfair in the 90 minutes of a match and has clearly come back from a long time.

“It was clearly not up to date.

“That is a huge statement if West Ham were able to get over the line of where they are as a club.

“He and Antonio could play together. Both are ready to run in channels and both are ready to get on the end of each other’s balls.

“I see it as a great move.”
