Sunderland made a shock move to sign Calvert-Lewin on a free transfer this summer[/caption]

The former Everton striker is without a club after his Toffees contract expired

However, the 28-year-old is keen to keep his options open in the hope a club higher up the Premier League food chain comes in for him.

Calvert-Lewin’s final season with the Toffees saw him score three goals in 26 league outings last term.

Sunderland have since agreed a deal with Chelsea to take teenage striker Marc Guiu on loan.

The Spaniard’s temporary switch to the north east is set to be completed imminently.

Guiu scored six goals in seven Conference League appearances for the Blues last season.

However, the 19-year-old was limited to just 70 minutes of league action by Enzo Maresca.

Once his move is finalised, Guiu will become Regis Le Bris’ eighth summer signing.

Only the traditional big six have spent more than their £122million outlay.

The Black Cats may end their top-flight hiatus at home to West Ham on August 16.

Ahead of that match, Le Bris has penned a new long-term deal with the club.

“The collective ambition is there to see and now, there is a desire to become stronger.

“I can feel the energy and intent to push forward, and we need that in the next challenges we will face.

“In every part of the organisation, everyone has their own part to play, and we are all aligned.”
