The Everton star whose value has crashed by £42m.

A star player for Everton has recently seen his value sink after having a bad couple of seasons.

Everton have had what some may call a difficult time over the last few of seasons.

Whether that be because they’re continuously finding themselves in relegation battles or because they be handed the most severe points deduction in Premier League history. You name anything, Everton have more than likely experienced it.

Fortunately, for the Toffees, their ten-point deduction has now been cut to six after a successful appeal was approved by an independent tribunal.

However, although that has turned their fortunes around for this year, this still doesn’t explain the fact of their terrible form during the prior three Premier League campaigns.

Since the departure of Carlo Ancelotti, who left for Real Madrid in 2021, the club have failed to finish within the top half of the table, with their highest rank being 15th. Whereas, when the Italian was in charge, they managed to finish in 10th and 12th.

Granted, these positions are still not as high as what Roberto Martinez managed with the side in the 2013/14 campaign or even as high as what David Moyes managed in the 2010/11 campaign, but, they are far more respectable results than what Frank Lampard and Sean Dyche have managed to attain thus far.

One of the primary factors behind Everton’s under-performance can be put down to the lack of fight and form that the players are now undergoing.

Of their last seven games in all competitions, The Toffees have only managed to win once in what was a 1-0 success over Crystal Palace in the replay of their third-round FA Cup clash.

In fact, the last time that Dyche’s men managed to score more than one goal in a game was all the way back in December, when they faced fellow relegation battlers, Burnley, and beat Vincent Kompany’s side 2-0.

This lack of goal-scoring prowess is one of the primary reasons why Everton once again find themselves fighting to keep their Premier League position.

As per Toffee Web, across the 2023/24 campaign thus far, Abdoulaye Doucoure is the club’s highest goalscorer with six goals.

Now, although this is a more than solid return from the midfielder, having six goals be the most any player on the club has scored during the season is very concerning.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who is supposed to be Dyche’s star, has only managed to bag five goals this year, one of which came in this year’s version of the Carabao Cup.

With this in mind, there’s no wonder that the 11-capped England striker has recently seen his worth decline.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s transfer value in 2024

As per Football Transfers, Calvert-Lewin has an estimated transfer value of roughly just £8m. Although this fee is likely on the lower end of the scale of what Everton would expect for him, it puts into perspective how bad he has been of late.

The striker has been Dyche’s main point of attack this season, with the 26-year-old playing a total of 28 games across all competitions this year.

This score would have likely been considerably higher if he hadn’t suffered a couple of injuries at the start of the season.

The absences in question have put the former Sheffield United man out for a total of five games. One of them missed came from an event that the attacker sustained near the back-end of the 2022/23 campaign.

Missing five games may seem like a lot for most players, but, in the case of Calvert-Lewin, this is a rather frequent theme.

During the 6 foot 2 striker’s time with the Toffees, he has been a constant visitor to the treatment room. In reality, since the 2016/17 season, he has missed 81 games via injury, with a big bulk of those coming in the 2021/22 campaign.
