Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the latest name to flirt with the Everton exit door since Carlo Ancelotti left the club to join Real Madrid earlier this month. A trio of Arsenal frontmen could well be in danger if the Gunners manage to see a deal for the England striker over the line.
Matters at Goodison Park have certainly been unsettled recently, with fans divided over the impending appointment of former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez.
James Rodriguez has been trying to force his way out of Merseyside, reportedly offering his services to both Madrid clubs in an attempt to flee.
Surprisingly, The Telegraph reported that Everton are willing to listen to sensible offers for their key striker Calvert-Lewin which has put Arsenal on high alert.
Here are three players who could be in danger if that deal does indeed go through:

Eddie Nketiah
From one player whose contract expires next summer to another, Nketiah’s time could be coming to an end at the Emirates.
The England U21 record goal-scorer has recently attracted the interest of both West Ham and Bayer Leverkusen, with a fee in the region of £14m thought to be sufficient to prise the striker away from north London.
Nketiah is still only 22, so opportunities to learn and develop further within Arsenal’s ranks could potentially be an option for the academy graduate.
However, having not scored prolifically or demonstrated enough solid all-round play to warrant a starting spot next season, it could be a wise career choice to seek opportunities elsewhere.
Folarin Balogun
At just 19-years-old, Balogun is one of the Gunners’ highest rated young stars.
The striker signed a long-term contract with the club in April of this year, so prospects of him leaving would appear slim.
Despite his promising status, Balogun has only notched six senior appearances, all of which in cup competitions, although he has netted twice.
Rather than facing the Emirates axe like the two names mentioned previously, Balogun could instead see his prospective game time suffer as a result of Calvert-Lewin’s proposed arrival.
Given the player is still a teenager, though, time is certainly on his side.
