Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.
The 27-year-old England international has been on the radar of Chelsea and Arsenal, according to a report from CaughtOffside. Newcastle United are monitoring his situation as well. It will be interesting to see if any of the aforementioned clubs decide to follow up on their interest and submit an offer for the player.
Chelsea could use a quality striker this season. Although Nicolas Jackson scored 17 goals last season, the Blues need an upgrade on him. Calvert-Lewin would be an underwhelming addition though. He has scored a total of 15 goals in three seasons.
Chelsea are keen on the Napoli striker Victor Osimhen and the Everton star is an alternative to the Nigerian. Osimhen would cost a premium and the Toffees star would be a cheaper option.
Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world and they will be expected to win major trophies. They should aim for players of higher calibre.
Arsenal eyeing Dominic Calvert-Lewin as well
Meanwhile, Arsenal need another goalscorer as well. Gabriel Jesus scored four goals in the league last season. They need more depth in the side if they want to beat Manchester City to the title.
The report from CaughtOffside claims that the 27-year-old striker wants to leave Everton this summer. He is looking for a fresh challenge and a move to Chelsea or Arsenal would be quite exciting for him.
Furthermore, the striker is in the final year of his contract with Everton and the Toffees are under pressure to sell him. They will not want to lose him on a free transfer at the end of the season. It makes sense for them to sell him for a reasonable amount of money this summer.
With just a few days left in the window, the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal will have to accelerate their pursuit of the 27-year-old striker if they are serious about signing him. He has played in the Premier League for years and he should be able to settle in quickly and make an instant impact.
