00:00Free agent Dominic Calvert-Lewin says he's ready to climb the next mountain
00:06as Aston Villa consider a move for the former Everton striker.
00:10The 28-year-old ended a nine-year spell at Goodison Park this summer,
00:13bringing a close, a rollercoaster chapter on Merseyside
00:17that saw him rise from a promising youngster to an England international.
00:23Calvert-Lewin scored 16 Premier League goals in his most prolific season in 2020-21,
00:29but persistent injuries have hampered him in recent years.
00:33Despite a stop-start-finish last campaign, in which he scored three goals and missed 14 games,
00:38he still proved a valuable focal point in a side battling relegation pressure.
00:44Speaking on the High Performance podcast, he reflected on his time at Everton.
00:49After the last three or four seasons, it's been a lot of survival
00:51and want to be somewhere where the mentality is to win.
00:55Aston Villa are weighing up a move for the 6-foot-2 forward
01:00as they look to strengthen their attacking options.

01:08returning to their parent club, Zunay Emre once experienced back-up
01:13for Oli Watkins, who scored 19 league goals last season.
01:18Villa's other forwards, including Leon Bailey, chipped in, but not consistently.
01:22For the sixth-placed finish, underlined their progress under Emre,
01:27but ambitions of European success and top-four contention
01:31will require greater squad depth and variety.
01:36Cowart-Lewin offers experience at the top level
01:38and remains keen to return to the England set-up.
01:41The main thing for me is I want to win, he said.
01:44Champions League football and getting back into the England squad,
01:48those are the main factors.
01:52Everton fans will watch this next move with interest.
01:55The popular figure, when fit,
01:57Cavaloon's departure marks the end of an era at Goodison Park.
02:01But for Villa, it could be seen as the start of a new chapter,
02:04one where a determined, physically refreshed
02:06and battle-hardened forward
02:08helps push Emre's side towards even greater heights.
