Arsenal are believed to prioritize a natural striker when the 2025 summer transfer window opens. The Gunners were linked with a variety of strikers last summer.
Newcastle United striker, Alexander Isak, Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres and RB Leipzig talisman, Benjamin Sesko were all touted for a move to the Emirates.
Arsenal and Leipzig reportedly agreed a fee in the region of £40 million before the Slovenia international signed a new long-term deal with the Bundesliga outfit.
Now, according to Football Fan Cast, Arsenal are considering a move for Everton striker, Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the next summer window.

Mikel Arteta had previously been interested in the Toffees forward, but in recent seasons, a combination of form and fitness issues have caused him to struggle at Everton.
However, the England international will have his choice of interested clubs as he is a free agent at the end of the current season.
According to the report, Arsenal are one of those teams. Saying they “have considered making a move” when his contract expires.
The report further states that the 27-year-old may see a move as his last chance to land what would be a big contract. Meaning that any deal would probably demand a significant increase in Calvert-Lewin’s present wage of £100,000 per week.
The 27-year-old scored seven goals last season to keep his team out of the relegation zone.
This season, he has managed two goals and an assist, but Sean Dyche benched him in favor of Beto in their most recent game, which ended in a 4-0 loss to Manchester United, Arsenal’s next opponent.
