'He has ALL the attributes to be the same': Dominic Calvert-Lewin compared to Cristiano Ronaldo by Everton assistant coach following striker's prolific start to the season

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been likened to Cristiano Ronaldo by Everton's assistant coach following his prolific start to the season.

The young striker is enjoying an impressive run of form for Everton, having notched 14 goals in 16 games across all competitions.

He kept up that streak when he scored on his international debut in October, and Davide Ancelotti believes he shares similarities with Ronaldo - one of many great strikers his father Carlo has coached.
