Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been at Everton since 2016.
The former Manchester United defender believes that Calvert-Lewin is a “victim” of the high expectations that Everton have from him due to him being a forward.
Neville said on Sky Sports Main Event (7:06pm, August 23, 2019): “I always felt sorry for Calvert-Lewin because I felt that he was a victim really in the sense that he is a really good player, young prospect, doing well, carrying the weight of the frontline on his own.”
