Arsenal are ready to make a new centre-forward signing to replace Alexandre Lacazette.

The Sun says England internationals Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Ollie Watkins have both been mentioned as potential replacements.

French international Lacazette, 30, is in the final year of his £180,000-a-week Emirates contract and has not been offered a new deal by the club.

There is a chance that Arsenal could look to sell him in the January transfer window rather than losing him as a free agent at the end of the season.

But manager Mikel Arteta will only allow that to happen if he is able to sign another striker to act as back-up to skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Ambitious Everton will fight tooth and nail to keep top scorer Calvert-Lewin, who has established himself as Harry Kane's England back-up over the past year.

Aston Villa paid £28million when they bought Watkins from Brentford last year and, like Everton, are in no mood to sell their star striker who made his senior England debut in March but missed out on the Euros.
