'Like a fine wine'

Dominic Calvert-Lewin had been on Leeds' radar early on in the summer window so his signing was hardly a knee-jerk reaction. The striker was briefly linked with both Manchester United and Newcastle but when Leeds were given the opportunity to bring him in they pounced. Daniel Farke believed if he could get Calvert-Lewin firing he would be the one to propel them up the table.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin had been on Leeds' radar early on in the summer window so his signing was hardly a knee-jerk reaction.

The striker was briefly linked with both Manchester United and Newcastle but when Leeds were given the opportunity to bring him in they pounced. Daniel Farke believed if he could get Calvert-Lewin firing he would be the one to propel them up the table.

He is Leeds' main man up front and fans have taken to him thanks in large part to his effort and link-up play.

He's like a fine wine the way he's matured. He's found his home and seems to be loved at Leeds where his influence on others is really good.

He missed a few chances early on, including a penalty in the League Cup against Sheffield Wednesday on his debut, but he's now on his best goalscoring run since he was playing under Carlo Ancelotti at Everton.

As for England, it feels like a long shot - but, if he keeps scoring, it will eventually be impossible for Tuchel to ignore him.
