Everton are reportedly ready to sell Dominic Calvert-Lewin, handing Arsenal a major boost in their pursuit of the striker.
The 25-year-old has been one of a host of No.9s linked with a move to north London during the summer transfer window, as Mikel Arteta looks to find a long-term solution up front.
Following Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 's deadline-day departure to Barcelona in the January transfer window, Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah were left as the only remaining strikers, but they are both out of contract in June.
