A biography for Dominic Calvert-Lewinhasn’t been written yet.
“It's nice to know what I'm working on in training is coming off on the pitch.”
“I am proud of myself for overcoming adversity.”
“It's always hard sleeping after an evening game because you have a lot of caffeine for the game and the adrenalin is still going around your body. You go to bed and realise you're still wide awake.”
“I've always felt I've enjoyed the physical battle and enjoyed the tough tests.”
“I have been guilty of running here, there and everywhere and not being enough of a goal threat. As a striker, you are judged on your goals.”
“I think I want to become more rounded, I want to keep honing my skills and fine-tuning the qualities that I have. And scoring more goals - every striker wants to score more goals.”
“I went to Everton, and it's levels - the higher up you get, you are under more and more scrutiny as a football player. You have to learn to deal with it at that scale and gradually progress to be able to deal with it at an even higher scale.”
“There's a difference between setting goals and trying to live in the future before it even happens.”
“The Premier League is a competitive league where strikers can be brought in for x amount of pounds and it might block your pathway as a young player. To go abroad, if it gives you the opportunity to play at the highest level in that country then I think it's a no-brainer.”
“If you get the cross in there's always a chance I can head it into the back of the net.”
“With such a big number comes a great responsibility so I have to accept that on my shoulders and live with what comes with it, good and bad. It is not a burden, it is just part and parcel of being a No.9.”
“I have worked with a lot of different people who have helped me along the way.”
“I have to back myself and think if I'm big enough to be picked by Everton and exposed in that situation, then I'm old enough to take whatever comes with it. That's the way I kind of see it.”
“I love where I am and the position I am in and I love playing for Everton Football Club.”
“Every time we lose I just want to play the next one and win.”
“No matter how good you are, or what level you get to, there's always going to be people that don't think you are very good or have their opinion to say.”
“To be one of only three Englishmen to have scored in a World Cup finaI is amazing.”
“My favourite player was Jack Grealish; top man! He is a naturally gifted footballer and for me, he is a joy to watch. If I could watch any player play, it would be him. He can do everything - he is exciting and tries to make things happen.”
“I am just happy to hit the back of the net.”
“The Premier League is the top league in the world. It's definitely toughened me up and mentally made me into the person I am now.”
