Everton striker Dominique Calvert Lewin has reportedly told his friend he wants to join Arsenal this summer. The striker is linked to the club's transfer and has also been linked to the Gunners.
According to Football Insider, the striker has decided to leave the club in the summer, regardless of whether Everton are relegated or not. The report notes that the striker has already told his friend that he would prefer to join Arsenal.
Calvert Lewin has been plagued by injuries this season, playing just 13 league games so far. The 25-year-old had his best scores last season, making 16 nets in 33 league games. However, the Briton has only scored three goals this season.
The striker has been linked to the Gunners in the past and Newcastle United are said to be interested in signing him as well. Calvert-Lewin's contract at Everton expires in June 2025, meaning he won't be cheap this summer if either club decides to trade.
Arsenal desperately need a striker
Arsenal will strengthen their attacking options in the summer and are already linked to multiple strikers across Europe. The Gunners have only two recognized strikers, Alexander Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah, whose contracts expire in the summer.
Mikel Arteta decided to have Pierre Emerick Aubameyang travel to Barcelona in January and will bring in a striker in the summer. Arsenal have been linked to the likes of Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus and Napoli's Victor Osmayne over the past week. Arteta is reportedly hoping to bring in two strikers in the summer.
Given Calvert Lewin's injury problems and the decline in performance this season, it seems unlikely that the Gunners will decide to sign him. Arteta's decision to sign who in the summer remains to be seen.
