Rasmus Hojlund has been underperforming and Ruben Amorim wants an upgrade on the Denmark international.
Calvert-Lewin is now expected to listen to all offers before making a final decision on his future.
Tottenham must steer clear of Calvert-Lewin this summer
Tottenham should avoid signing Calvert-Lewin on a free transfer as he does not represent an upgrade over their current attacking options and his poor fitness record makes him an unreliable backup.
Spurs already have Richarlison, Son Heung-min, Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Mathys Tel potentially who consistently deliver goals and assists.
Calvert-Lewin, with only 71 goals in 272 Everton appearances, lacks the clinical edge needed to displace them.
His injury history is a major concern as he has rarely played a full season, making him a risky option even as a squad player.
Tottenham’s schedule next season demands consistent availability, which Calvert-Lewin cannot guarantee.
Signing him would also inflate the wage bill without addressing key needs, potentially hindering Spurs’ ambitions for top-four consistency.
