Arsenal Set To Launch ‘Surprise’ Transfer Bid For Premier League Star

Arsenal is reportedly eyeing a surprise transfer bid for Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin this summer.

The Gunners are currently focused on the title race after securing an impressive 4-1 win over Leeds United, which restored their eight-point lead at the top of the table.

However, manager Mikel Arteta is already thinking ahead to the summer transfer window and is said to be considering a bold move for the Everton striker.

According to Football Insider, Arsenal is closely monitoring the availability of Calvert-Lewin and is hoping to secure a cut-price deal for the player if Everton is relegated from the Premier League.

Despite Calvert-Lewin’s injury struggles, Arteta remains a big admirer of the striker and sees him as a valuable addition to the Gunners’ squad ahead of next season.

It is surprising that Arsenal is targeting Calvert-Lewin given their recent progress and Everton’s struggles this season. However, if the Toffees are relegated, the Gunners could have an opportunity to secure a talented player at a lower price.

However, if the striker can stay fit, his track record proves that he can go on a scoring run. In the 2020/21 season, he scored an impressive 16 goals in 33 Premier League games.

If the striker’s current club, Everton, is relegated to the Championship, they will likely have to sell off many of their players in order to reduce their wage bill.

This presents a prime opportunity for Premier League clubs to secure talented players at low prices, and it seems that Arsenal is considering this option with the striker in question, Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

While the Gunners face competition for the 26-year-old’s signature, it’s uncertain whether he would be able to displace Gabriel Jesus or Eddie Nketiah at the club. Therefore, he may favor a move to a club where he can get more game time.

Despite the lack of buzz surrounding the striker’s form, his potential availability has caught the attention of several Premier League clubs.

Fans will be eagerly awaiting developments in the transfer window to see whether Calvert-Lewin will be on the move and where he might end up.
