He is obviously a good example of where something’s gone well, but free agency is an incredibly difficult market.” Why Calvert-Lewin is earning big wages at LeedsBorson insisted Calvert-Lewin will be on significant wages as he compared the striker’s situation to Raheem Sterling’s struggles at Feyenoord. “I’m sure he’s on a massive wage, and there’s a lot of risk there.

“He’s probably been paid quite a lot of money. It’s only a short-term deal, but he’s probably been paid let’s say €200,000 (£173k) a week, so they have still spent millions of euros and he’s done nothing.
