27-year-old Everton striker could join Chelsea over Arsenal. Dominic Calvert-Lewin could be leaving the Goodison Park this summer. The striker has the attention of a lot of top clubs from the Premier League. Both the London sides are keen to find a quality forward. Victor Osimhen was a top target for both of them. But, his future remains doubtful. The Blues were also considering a move for Brentford’s Ivan Toney. But, Al-Ahli are eyeing a deal for him in case Osimhen move falters out. So, Calvert-Lewin is the back-up option for the London-rivals. At the same time, he is available on a much lower price. So, we could see him moving to London very soon.
Chelsea vs Arsenal: Who will secure a move for the striker
Both Chelsea and Arsenal need a top-striker. The Blues still lack experience up front. Meanwhile, the Gunners need a proper center forward to lead the line. If not the case, they might not be able to compete with Man City for the league title. As per football365.com, Calvert-Lewin wants to join the Blue side of London. Now, as per the latest updates, the Blues are looking for a player plus cash deal for the forward. As a result, Fofana could leave the Stamford Bridge. But, as of now, Everton don’t seem keen to negotiate in this way.
What lies in the future for Calvert-Lewin?
Osimhen has made it clear that he does not wish to leave Europe yet. So, we may see him joining with Enzo Maresca. If so, then the Blues won’t sign Calvert-Lewin. As a result, the Gunners could move for the 27-year-old. Meanwhile, Al-Ahli could then just sign Ivan Toney. We, at footballexpress.in, believe that this will be the best way for Chelsea and Arsenal to address their striker issues. But, whether a deal for Calvert-Lewin can happen before the deadline day, remains to be seen.
