Arsenal have been linked with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, but he seems very focused on his life at Everton instead.
The Gunners may be pursuing a new striker this summer given that Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are both out of contract in 2022.
A few options have been touted, but Calvert-Lewin is the latest name in the frame as he battles for minutes on international duty with England.
Arsenal’s interest in Calvert-Lewin
Rumours of Arsenal being interested in Calvert-Lewin first emerged in midweek as The Telegraph reported their interest in a potential deal.
Calvert-Lewin won’t come cheap – The Sun suggest that he could be valued at around £50million – so Arsenal will have to dig deep if they want him.
With 16 Premier League goals last season, Calvert-Lewin was always bound to attract interest, and he could give Arsenal something different given his aerial ability.
Calvert-Lewin on his future
Calvert-Lewin faced the media on Saturday ahead of England facing Germany at Euro 2020, and the subject of his future understandably came up.
The striker suggested to the Liverpool Echo that he is just ignoring the rumours and just focusing on his job with England and then going back to Everton.
Calvert-Lewin added that the rumours are not his concern, giving Arsenal very little encouragement about a potential deal.
“It’s quite easy (to ignore), just don’t go on my phone!” said Calvert-Lewin. “That’s what I tend to do really. I’m focused, I’m focused now and I’m focused on training, working hard and making an impact on this tournament. What my future holds and what people speculate about is not my concern at this moment in time,” he added.
