Everton have reportedly been left ‘furious’ with claims that striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is on the verge of a move to Arsenal. The England forward has long been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, with Mikel Arteta keen to bolster his current frontline.
Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah both look likely to wave goodbye at the end of the season, leaving a considerable gap at the top end of the pitch. Calvert-Lewin has been rumoured to be one of the names under consideration, with the likes of Alexander Isak, Darwin Nunez and Jonathan David having also been mentioned.
During an interview with GQ magazine, it was claimed that the Everton man was on the verge of a move to the Emirates Stadium - speculation that has apparently ruffled feathers on Merseyside. According to the Liverpool Echo, club officials have been left ‘furious’ over the claims, with it being suggested that preparations for the Toffees’ key relegation clash with Burnley were affected.
