Arsenal are hoping to sign a striker next summer, and Everton hitman Dominic Calvert-Lewin is being linked with a shock move to North London.
The Sun report that Calvert-Lewin is one of two top striker targets for Edu and Mikel Arteta. Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins is also wanted.
Alexandre Lacazette is out of contract at the end of the season and looks set to leave Arsenal on a free transfer.
Adding a younger striker with Premier League experience would be ideal, and Calvert-Lewin does fit that bill.
Calvert-Lewin hit 16 goals in the Premier League last season, and already has three in three this term.
A physical striker with great aerial ability, Calvert-Lewin could be ideal for crosses into the box – but Everton fans don’t exactly see it happening.
Everton fans react to Arsenal wanting Calvert-Lewin
Everton supporters have been taking to Twitter, suggesting that the rumour is ‘disrespectful’ to Calvert-Lewin.
Toffees fans think Calvert-Lewin is ‘destined’ for a title challenging team if he is to leave Everton.
Some feel that Arsenal just can’t offer that, believing their pursuit is ‘laughable’.
Others are calling for Arsenal to spend huge money if they want Calvert-Lewin, noting that he can’t possibly be sold for less than Ben White.
