The former Everton striker has rediscovered his goalscoring form in recent weeks, with his impact now having some inside the game pushing for Calvert-Lewin to gatecrash England's World Cup squad.
Former Sheffield United striker Calvert-Lewin told the Mirror: “It did feel strange at first but I would say I knew from the first day that I walked in at Leeds and I heard Yorkshire accents that I felt at home! The staff all speaking like me.
“I felt very comfortable and it’s a very close knit group of lads. It’s a freeing feeling to be enjoying football like I am at the moment. I’ve always known that I play my best football when I’m enjoying it.
“The atmosphere at Elland Road is special, really special. I’ve played there as an opposing player and it was hostile. To have that as a Leeds player now is so special.”
Calvert-Lewin added: “My mental strength is one of my biggest assets. You don’t succeed at this level for as long as I have done without having a certain level of resilience, robustness and mental toughness.
“For me, I always feel my career has been about having to prove something. My dad would always say: ‘Go the long way round.’ For me, it’s nothing I’ve not been through before.
“I do feel like this is the second phase of my career. I’ve still got so much that I still want to achieve and so much that I want to do and it gives me so much motivation that, when the next opportunity arises, I’m going to grab it with both hands.”
