Dominic Calvert-Lewin says he has found a new sense of peace that is aiding his football, having scored consistently since joining Leeds United from Everton.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has credited finding a sense of peace in his personal life with his improved performance at Leeds United. The 29-year-old striker has thrived since joining from Everton 16 months ago, confounding critics who questioned the move given his previous injury record. His impact has been immediate and substantial.

Calvert-Lewin scored 15 goals for Leeds last season and has added five more this campaign. His consistency has also improved his international prospects, with him now preparing to represent England again in Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain. Leeds manager Daniel Farke is reportedly keen for the striker to make the most of the international break.

Calvert-Lewin attributes his form to changes in his personal life. 'I have a really good balance,' he told the Observer. He said becoming a father had given him a different perspective and taught him to 'welcome the bumps in the road' during difficult professional moments. His combination of goal-scoring form and newfound physical resilience has been central to Leeds' smooth return to the Premier League after promotion.
