Dominic Calvert-Lewin Drops Bombshell on Future in Sky Sports Interview, Leaving Leeds Fans Stunned

Leeds United striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has sent shockwaves through Elland Road with a heartfelt Sky Sports interview, declaring his deep affection for the club while hinting his future hinges on the board’s vision.

The 28-year-old, who joined on a free transfer from Everton in August 2025, has been in scintillating form, scoring in six consecutive Premier League games – a feat not achieved by a Leeds player since 1960. His latest strike came in a 1-1 draw at Sunderland on December 28, extending his tally to eight goals this season and pulling Leeds clear of the relegation zone.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Calvert-Lewin dropped a bombshell: “I’m absolutely in love with Leeds and the fans. The atmosphere at Elland Road, the passion – it’s everything I hoped for. I’m willing to stay long-term if the board wants me here and shares the ambition to build something special.”

This candid admission has stunned Leeds supporters, many of whom were initially skeptical about the injury-prone forward. Early season struggles saw criticism mount, but his recent purple patch – including braces and crucial goals against top sides – has transformed him into a fan favorite. Chants of “England’s number nine” now ring out, with fans dreaming of an international recall.

Calvert-Lewin’s three-year deal runs until 2028, but speculation about January interest from bigger clubs had swirled amid his revival under Daniel Farke. His declaration quells exit rumors, emphasizing commitment contingent on board backing.

Fans reacted ecstatically on social media: “DCL saying he’s in love with us? I’m stunned – stay forever!” one wrote. Another added: “If the board doesn’t want him, they’re mad. He’s our savior.”

As Leeds head into 2026 seven points above the drop, Calvert-Lewin’s words offer hope for stability. Farke praised him as “one of the best strikers in the league,” vowing to keep the hot streak alive. For a club craving consistency, this “bombshell” feels like the perfect New Year’s gift.
