'We are desperate' - Dwight McNeil makes major Dominic Calvert-Lewin Everton transfer admission
Dwight McNeil admits Everton are desperate for Dominic Calvert-Lewin to return - and has also welcomed the club being active in the January transfer window.
The forward has struggled with various injuries since the start of the last campaign and has only managed 340 minutes of football so far this season. In that time, Calvert-Lewin has also only managed to complete one full game for his side.
Calvert-Lewin missed Monday’s defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers as the Blues made the call to give the England international more time to get back up to speed. However, the former Sheffield United man had trained with his side in the build-up to the clash at Goodison Park.

In front of a packed out Eventim Olympia, Dickens came through 12 tough rounds of boxing against Lerato Dlamini, who certainly proved to be no pushover, to pick up the memorable victory on points.
