Leeds have reached an agreement to sign free agent Dominic Calvert-Lewin, the PA news agency understands.
The 28-year-old striker, who left Everton after nine years when his contract expired this summer, is set to undergo a medical at the Yorkshire club’s Thorp Arch training ground.
Calvert-Lewin managed just three goals in 26 appearances last season, having missed three months from the end of January due to injury.
Injuries blighted his final few years at Everton, missing 529 days with a variety of problems since the start of the 2021-22 campaign.
Calvert-Lewin was offered a new contract on reduced terms by the Merseyside club, for whom he scored 71 times in 274 games, at the end of last season, but turned it down for a new challenge.
He is now set to become Leeds’ eighth signing of the summer as they continue to strengthen their squad ahead of their return to the Premier League.
Leeds host Calvert-Lewin’s former club in their opening game on Monday night.
