Everton legend Reid, who spent 22 games in charge of Leeds during 2003, is among those to have been impressed by Calvert-Lewin’s return to prominence. He claims to have never had any doubts that the powerful No.9 was capable of rediscovering his mojo.
Speaking at the world’s biggest World Cup-themed auction – courtesy of BUDDSthe UK’s leading specialist auctioneers of sports memorabilia – Reid told GOAL when asked if DCL’s post-Everton renaissance has come as a surprise: “Couldn’t get him on the park.
“Whatever you say, the kid can score goals. He’s around the box, he’s always on the move, he’s always on shoulders – I like those strikers, six yards, boom, goal. Calvert-Lewin is that.
“He’s had an absolutely fantastic season. All credit to another one of my old clubs. They’ve done brilliantly as well. It’s interesting how things play out. I’m really looking forward to it.”
