The £100k-per-week Everton forward was reportedly “frustrated” after the Tottenham loss, according to Pat Nevin.

Everton has already suffered two losses in their first two Premier League games of the 2024–25 season.

After a terrible start to the new campaign, Sean Dyche’s team has been humiliated for the second week in a row.

In the first twenty-five minutes of play, Tottenham Hotspur had the game won, with the Toffees appearing to be a step behind.

Heung-min and Yves Bissouma’s objectives Within 30 minutes, Son gave the home team two goals to the good, and Spurs easily won all three points.

Going forward, Everton looked toothless and provided very little for Guglielmo Vicario to deal with in the Spurs net.

And former Everton winger Pat Nevin admitted he had spotted just how frustrated one of the Blues forwards looked in north London.

Everton forward Pat Nevin claims appeared extremely irritated against Tottenham.

There has been much discussion leading up to the match on whether or not Everton’s offensive has been strengthened enough in the transfer window.

Everton has been mentioned as a possible destination for Armando Broja of Chelsea, following the apparent breakdown of his planned deal to Ipswich Town.

For the Everton striker who is still looking for his first league goal of the year, it was another goalless day.

Despite Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s lack of goals against the Seagulls the week before, Dyche started him up top.

But Nevin, a former Everton player, saw how frustrated the £100k-per-week Calvint-Lewin appeared to be at times due to a dearth of opportunities at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

“Dominic Calvert-Lewin is requesting something else to pursue right now since he is feeling a little frustrated. Nevin stated during the game’s telecast on BBC Sport, “He can hold the ball up, but nobody is close to him.”

With only one year left on his current deal, Calvin-Lewin’s future at Everton is currently in jeopardy.

Numbers from Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s performance against Tottenham

Calvert-Lewin had a successful finish to the 2023–24 season, but he is currently having trouble getting going in the new one.

The 27-year-old did not put in a particularly bad performance on Saturday; rather, he struggled with a genuine lack of opportunities when Spurs were attacking.

Below is a summary of Calvert-Lewin’s performance following his late-game withdrawal.

• 72 minutes played
• 0 shots
• 0/1 dribbles attempted
• 22 touches
• 55% pass accuracy
• 1X offside
• 10X possession lost

While there isn’t much more that Calvert-Lewin could have done that day, Iliman Ndiaye’s requirements to receive some minutes from the outset may now be seriously questioned.
