Everton talisman and England international Dominic Calvert-Lewin is a transfer target for Arsenal, according to the Telegraph.
Shared by Everton fan podcast The Toffee Blues on Twitter, a summary Tweet referenced the original source and prompted discussions among Evertonians.
The report claims that the Gunners are looking to inject fresh faces into all areas of the pitch.
Fellow England international Ben White of Brighton, who also joins Calvert-Lewin in Gareth Southgate’s Euros side, is a major target.
Belgian 21-year-old prospect Albert Sambi Lokonga is another target, with the Everton ace completing a trio of referenced targets at the other end of the pitch.
Under now-departed manager Carlo Ancelotti, Calvert-Lewin found the back of the net 21 times in just 39 games in an inspired season for the 24-year-old.
However, as the original report and the Tweet notes, Arsenal are likely to offload several unwanted faces to raise funds for new acquisitions.
Several first-team players such as Willian, Alexandre Lacazette, Granit Xhaka and Hector Bellerin have all been linked with exits.
Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi, who were both shipped out on loan to Atletico Madrid and Hertha Berlin respectively also look likely to be shown the Emirates exit door.
Read Everton Verdict
Calvert-Lewin’s proven consistency this season was a major consolation in an otherwise disappointing season that saw the Toffees miss out on European football.
However, that will only serve to ensure that a gargantuan fee will be needed for the Toffees to part with a home-grown talent.
Considering that Arsenal only finished two spots higher than Everton, selling to a direct European rival will be extremely unattractive from the perspective of Everton chiefs.
