It is becoming increasingly clear that Calvert-Lewin and Everton are heading for a parting of ways, which has once again sparked interest from clubs like Arsenal. Mikel Arteta’s side, in need of reinforcements in attack, is often linked with various forwards, and Calvert-Lewin’s name has re-emerged as a potential target. According to a report from Football Insider, Arsenal has discussed the possibility of adding Calvert-Lewin to their squad, considering him as a viable option to bolster their attacking options.
The prospect of signing Calvert-Lewin as a free agent would be particularly appealing for Arsenal, as it would not involve a significant transfer fee. The striker could serve as a backup option at the Emirates, offering depth and competition for Gabriel Jesus in the centre-forward role. Given his physicality and aerial presence, he could provide an alternative for Arteta when a more traditional striker is needed.
However, despite the logical appeal of adding a striker like Calvert-Lewin, there are reasons why such a move may not make sense for Arsenal. Both Calvert-Lewin and Gabriel Jesus have struggled with consistency in terms of goalscoring in recent seasons. Given that Arsenal’s main attacking focus is often on having a reliable scorer, it could be more beneficial for the club to pursue a striker who is proven to deliver more goals than the Everton forward has been able to consistently produce. This makes the move for Calvert-Lewin less appealing, and it may lead Arsenal to reconsider their options as they seek to strengthen their frontline for the future.

Genuinely don’t want DCL. He’s completely off his best. I’d rather go for Evan Ferguson or similar.
I’m not so sure he’s the answer. Isn’t he another player with a less than impressive fitness record.
Something we don’t need anymore of I think you’ll agree.
We need a consistent attacking threat in the striker position, so a hard pass for me.
Spotty scoring record, injury concerns, not a solution but more of a band-aid in the striker position.
Don’t be tempted by the free transfer; better to spend some funds and bring in a solution, rather than a patchwork approach.
Looks like the Kroenkes have shut the purse…🤔
not a chance, definitely not happening
How many years has DCL spent at Everton and how prolific has he been in front of goal? When we discuss the lack of goals from Jesus and the moderate number from DCL and then compare the injury records of both why would Arsenal entertain a transfer?
I rather have Nketiah than this kind of striker.
So you say he will provide competition for Jesus, what competition is this , to see who can score the least goals. No chance of this happening.
click bait DCL, I don’t think so. We are trying to win the league.
