Mikel Arteta makes Dominic Calvert-Lewin U-turn as Arsenal boss eyes summer arrivals

Arsenal are reportedly set to pass on making a summer swoop for Dominic Calvert-Lewin - despite claims that the Everton hitman had been earmarked to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Gunners gave Aubameyang the boot earlier this year following Mikel Arteta's decision to ostracise the Gabon star from the team. The Londoners ex-skipper had been stripped of the armband - and dropped from the team - following a disciplinary issue and linked up with Barcelona in January.

However, Arsenal failed to source an adequate replacement in the January transfer window and are expected to resume their search in the summer. Calvert-Lewin was one of a host of names who were linked with a move to the Emirates in the final throes of the winter window - but it now appears as though the Gunners will not be rekindling their interest in the 25-year-old at the end of the season.
