Dominic Calvert-Lewin

“I think the more I play, the more goals I will score and will become more prolific because I'm working hard in training to become a better player every day and I do believe I can play for England at some point.”

“Everton have had great centre-forwards in the past - they are big boots to fill.”

“As a young centre-forward, if I'm to look along the line of top centre-forwards, I would look at Robert Lewandowski and study his game and see what positions he gets in, because I feel he's got similar attributes to what I have.”

“You could say heading is a dying art in football because a lot of games are now played tiki-taka on the grass.”

“I experienced it at Sheffield United, where there were rumours that Everton were coming in for me and I was going there for a million pounds. At that time, I am a kid who uses social media like Twitter. Sheffield United fans were saying they would walk and carry me there, wanting me to go. As a boyhood Sheffield United fan, that still cuts me deep.”

“Every player wants to start the game, especially me.”

“I am fine-tuning certain aspects of my game. Beforehand, I was guilty of doing a lot of my best work away from the goal. But now I am getting in between the sticks and putting the ball in the back of the net.”

“I read a lot when I was quite young and have been through phases when I have read less but it helps me stay in the zone when there is so much going on.”

“I need to stay consistent, I don't look too far ahead but just affect what I can affect. To be ready in the right place at the right time to put the ball in the back of the net.”

“I have been playing football since I was eight so I know how to play football. But no-one can really prepare you for the mental side of things and having 40,000 fans saying you're not a good player or you don't belong.”

“I like to think I have shown I am ready to live up to the expectations of being Everton's number nine.”

“I always knew to warrant a call-up for my country, it was important that I was doing my job, and that is scoring goals.”

“If an England call came, I would be the happiest man alive.”

“It was relief really, to know that I have scored on my England debut.”

“A lot of my goals have been one-touch finishes so it's about getting in the right areas and being the man to put them in the back of the net.”

“If you've got competition for places then you always need to be on top of your game.”

“I just have to keep scoring goals.”

“Football will chew you up and spit you out if you let it.”

“I work hard in training and the ultimate goal is to get in the starting XI. All I can do coming off the bench is affect the game and score the goals so hopefully that puts a question mark in the manager's mind.”

“There here has been some exceptional players to wear the No 9 shirt for Everton. For me to get that number, I knew what it meant and I knew what was required.”
