Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s crucial goal to ensure Everton’s Premier League place ahead of next season showed exactly what Arsenal need. But, it also meant an increase on his summer transfer price.
The Englishman scored the winner in a 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace which prevented Everton from potentially getting relegated at the end of the season when they play Arsenal in the final fixture.
The Gunners had been heavily linked with a move for Calvert-Lewin, and if Edu was to pursue a deal for the forward with Everton relegated, then it would have been likely that Arsenal could acquire him for a cut-price fee, but this is no longer the case.
