Arsenal are making some early noises in the transfer market, with several high-quality players being mentioned as potential additions.
One of them includes Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who was described by Graeme Souness as having “gravy and arrogance” during the recently concluded Premier League campaign.

The Telegraph reported this month that Arsenal want to sign the powerful hit man and that they “admire” the English international.
Calvert-Lewin is currently in international service with England at Euro 2020 and is considered second behind Harry Kane on the forward charts.
That says a lot about how his coaches view him.
Nonetheless, as the Daily Mail reported in November, TV commentator Souness is a fan of the Premier League’s 16-goal aerial expert.
“There is a lot I like about him,” Souness said. “He’s athletic, he took a big leap, aggressive.
“He’s playing with… a bit of gravy, arrogance, there are a lot of things I like about him, but we are in the early stages of this season.
“You’re getting a lot of credit and you should be, and a lot of publicity, but you have to make sure that doesn’t go to your head.
“Put your head down, work hard tomorrow and harder the next day and he has a chance.”

Since Arsenal and Everton are seemingly in the same boat, it will take something almighty for them to reward their talents in North London.
Both clubs have ambitions to return to Europe, so there is no chance that Everton will help them along the way by selling them one of their best players.
But he still doesn’t hide the fact that Calvert-Lewin was one of the best-improving players in the Premier League last season.
The Euro 2020 player has not only shown that he has an almighty leap, but has gone from being a hardworking striker to a smart penalty area striker.
Those extra touches that Calvert-Lewin used to have on his game have come out of his game and he’s turned efficient and lethal in the final third.
That is why it is he who is behind Kane as the second best striker in England.
