It is noted tha𝓰t the Everton star would cost more than £50 million. Meanwhile, Villa reportedly spent £28 million to sign Watkins. And his value will have only increased.

Interestingly, the report does claim that the club plan to back Arteta with the funds for someone who can rival, and then re♔place, Pierre-Em🌱erick Aubameyang.

Arsenal signing Calvert-Lewin or Watkins would be an incredible statement of intent

It is currently hard to see Watkins or Calvert-Le💎win leaving their respective clubs.

Arteta still has a lo♏t to prove at the Emirates. Meanwhile, both Everton and Villa have shown some incredibly promising signs in the Premier League this season.

And clearly, they would both command huge fees.

So it would be a massive statement from Arsenal. Both players have been outstandingℱ performers – with 30 Premier League goals between them last season.

Having said that, the supporters will be expecting the Gunners to do something special if they are looking to replace the l🧔ikes of Lacazette and then Aubameyang.
