Former Manchester City player suggested that the club should aim for Everton in-form player for the next transfer season.

The Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is said to be able to present a “unique” skill for the Etihad Stadium. In accordance with Shaun Goater, Manchester City should consider including the Calvert-Lewin as he has something well worth offering. 

It is anticipated that at some point, the Blues are likely to search for a new attacker in the market.

The working relationship of Manchester City players Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus bring in creative alternatives for their scoring methods. Although, this can change as that alliance might be broken.

This is because the Argentine begun the final year of his agreement. Subsequently, Aguero did not confirm his future at the club yet.  

Though, City hopes to persuade Aguero to stay with the team as their leading scorer. As of the summer of 2021, the 32-year-old striker will officially be able to transfer as a free agent.

Search for a new striker.

Goater is trying to boost the attacking options for Man City regardless of Aguero’s decision.

At the time, it is unclear to who City will aim for throughout their search. Considering they have eyes on Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi.

Nonetheless, Calvert-Lewin is a great option to take into account if they hope to obtain another attacker.

With nine goals at the club level, he scored his maiden goal for England. That too, on his senior international debut against Wales. The 23-year-old is getting a charge out of a momentous 2020-21 campaign.

He got the attention again in that challenge, driving City legend Goater to take to Twitter. And approach the Blues to begin sorting out enlistment plans.

“OK I’ve held my tongue on this one for a minute but when City go for a CF @CalvertLewin14 needs to be on that shortlist,” said Goater.

“He has pace, power, height, and is improving every day. He can improve with technique but he would offer something unique in @ManCity team no doubt.”

In addition, Goater seeks certain requirements for City’s striker position. And, Calvert-Lewin absolutely marks all the boxes. 

As the Bermudan recently told Gentingbet: “City have focal points everywhere on the world. However, City will look with a view for a striker with a character. And the chance of the player having the option to be at the club for various years. Not only for a season, except if you’re Messi.

“When I look at City, I would just say a striker that has more of a physical presence to be adaptable. For me, I think if City has success they may need to be more adaptable. Rather than one up top and two out wide.”
