Arsenal and West Ham ‘interested in signing Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin this summer’

Everton are prepared to sell Dominic Calvert-Lewin this summer, with Arsenal and West Ham both interested in signing the striker.

According to The Sun, Everton could be willing to accept less than their previous asking price of £60million for the England international.

Calvert-Lewin started the season by scoring in each of his first three league games but he then had a lengthy period out with a fractured toe and hasn’t scored since his return.

Arsenal are eager to bolster their attacking options, especially with Eddie Nketiah out of contract at the end of June.

Alexandre Lacazette is also nearing the end of his current deal, although he could be offered a one-year extension.

The Gunners didn’t sign a replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang when he joined Barcelona on a free transfer in January.  

Calvert-Lewin could be allowed to depart as Frank Lampard looks to overhaul his squad

West Ham enquired about Calvert-Lewin in January but were unwilling to pay £60million. However, they could resurrect their interest if Everton’s valuation is lowered.

Calvert-Lewin scored 16 league goals last season and 13 in the previous campaign. His contract at Everton runs until the summer of 2025 but he could be allowed to depart as manager Frank Lampard looks to overhaul his squad.  

The 25-year-old has four goals in 11 games for England and will have designs on getting back into Gareth Southgate’s squad. 

However, he faces competition from the likes of Tammy Abraham and Ollie Watkins, who are also in contention to provide backup to Harry Kane.
