Calvert-Lewin and his most difficult year
Everton secured their stay in the Premier League this season after a 3-2 win over Crystal Palace in the penultimate Premier League game. Calvert-Lewin was one of the heroes of the win, as it was his late winner. However, behind all the spotlight and merit lies a story of overcoming the odds.
At the end of the season, the footballer wrote on social networks a message that surprised his followers: "To all the young people who keep their emotions to themselves, I advise you to talk, with a friend, family member or someone who will listen to you, talking saved my life".
"It will make you realise that things are never as bad as they seem and you will discover that real strength is being able to face your weaknesses," the striker was keen to point out.
This is because the player has missed much of the season through injury and said he has suffered "some of the most difficult times" in both his personal and sporting life.
