The 26-year-old has struggled with injuries frequently this year and hasn’t played for his present employers since the beginning of February because of a hamstring issue.
Arsenal is “monitoring the availability” of Toffees striker Calvert-Lewin and may be considering a surprise move for him. In the event that Everton is demoted to the Sky Bet Championship, the Gunners are rumoured to be hunting for another forward and are hoping the England international may become available for a bargain price.
Calvert-Lewin is apparently a fan of Mikel Arteta’s and would be open to joining the Emirates despite his extensive injury history. Calvert-Lewin is paid £86,000 per week at Goodison Park and has a deal with the Merseyside team through the summer of 2025, according to Salary Sport.
The Sheffield-born star has 59 goals and 18 assists in 203 appearances for Everton in all competitions, making him a fan favourite among the team’s supporters. There is no denying that Calvert-Lewin is a gifted striker with special traits who would add something distinctive to the Gunners’ forward line; yet, his injury history is questionable, making him a hazardous acquisition for Arsenal.
The 26-year-old has missed 48 of Everton’s first-team games since the start of the 2016–17 season and is frequently seen on the Goodison Park treatment table. Although Arteta would be taking a risk by betting on someone with well-known fitness concerns, he might be the one to fix things in the long run.
