EVERTON will cash in on Dominic Calvert-Lewin at the end of the season — with Arsenal and West Ham on red alert.
The striker’s form has dipped dramatically and he will go when this disappointing campaign ends.
Arsenal have Calvert-Lewin, 25, on a shortlist and boss Mikel Arteta could target two new forwards in the summer with Eddie Nketiah off.
Billionaire owner Stan Kroenke is keen to show his faith in manager Mikel Arteta by providing the funds for a major squad upgrade.
The shock deadline-day departure of star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Barcelona leaves Arsenal with just 20 senior players for their battle to secure a top-four finish.
Strikers Alexander Isak and Calvert-Lewin plus midfielder Ruben Neves have all been identified as the hungry young players required to take the Gunners to the next level.
The Hammers are also keen on Calvert-Lewin and made inquiries in January only to be put off by the asking price of around £60million.
However, the Toffees may now take less as new boss Frank Lampard starts a massive overhaul of his staff.
He could slash the payroll by letting two or three big hitters go and Calvert-Lewin’s big wages would not put off the Gunners or West Ham.
Crystal Palace are after Nketiah, 22, who will be a free agent in the summer.
