Dominic Calvert-Lewin

“I am a proud Englishman and proud every time I pull on the England shirt.”

“We're human beings, we're still learning and still growing.”

“I have got people around me who will help me keep my feet on the ground. That is the way it has always been.”

“Some players hit the heights straight away, for me it's been gradual improvement.”

“I'm competing with myself every day in training to try and better myself, and going into games to try and score goals.”

“I like to bring different things to the table.”

“We're always quick to pigeon-hole players and say 'he's a targetman' or a 'spin-in behind man.' But I think I can bring different aspects of the game and heading is one of my strengths.”

“To have a manager who has worked with top players, top strikers, who have played in my position, it's always nice to know that when he is giving me information, he's coached these players before so it's important I take it on board.”

“When you're a scholar at the academy of a professional club everything is quite nice and easy. Then suddenly you're up against opponents who are playing to put food on the table and you realise it means that much more.”

“It is a dream come true to wear the No 9 shirt.”

“I work a lot with Duncan Ferguson - and after training - doing finishing drills and how to become a better player.”

“It's what you dream of as a kid, playing for your country and winning a World Cup.”

“The only pressure I really feel is that which I put on myself.”

“I'm not going to score if I'm out near the corner flag.”

“As long as some players are getting fined more for showing an advertisement on their boxer shorts or whatever it is than other players are for being racist then that's morally wrong and it has to change.”

“It's very difficult, but if I'm talking from my personal view and what I do as a job, which is playing football, how the Premier League and football handles racism should be with great severity because there's no place for it in the world.”

“I've got to prove I'm good enough to play for Everton.”

“Everybody is likely to make mistakes at times but it's important we learn from it, apologise, recognise where you've gone wrong and keep improving.”

“You can't play for Everton if you can't handle the expectation because the fans love the club so much and I have played in some tough European away nights at a young age when things have not gone very well.”

“I was very fortunate to play in the under-20s and under-21s.”
