Arsenal are reportedly interested in replacing Alexandre Lacazette with either Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin or Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins.

Arsenal have reportedly identified Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Ollie Watkins as potential replacements for Alexandre Lacazette.

Having entered the final year of his contract as backup to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Lacazette will almost certainly be allowed to leave the Emirates Stadium in 2022.

With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also turning 33 years of age next summer, Mikel Arteta is under pressure to bring in a younger forward.

According to The Sun, the Gunners are taking an interest in Everton's Calvert-Lewin and Aston Villa's Watkins.

Calvert-Lewin netted 16 goals in the Premier League last season, with Watkins netting just two strikes fewer during his first year in the top flight.

A likely stumbling block is the length of each player's contract with the pair being tied to their respective clubs until 2025.
