The 10-cap England international, who’s current♊ly at Euro 2020 with the Three Lions squad, is an all-round striker that is great in so many areas.

Calvert-Lewin admirers an Arsenal icon

Everton star🏅 Cal𒅌vert-Lewin previously shared his love for an Arsenal great.

“Thierry Henry is my other idol. Whenever I used to try and get football sh﷽irts it was Thierry Henry’s football shirt because he was my favourite player, and I don’t thi♕nk you can argue with that one,” he in an interview back in 2020.

This isn’t to say Arsenal have any kind o🐼꧙f advantage if they decide to ramp up interest in Calvert-Lewin, but people right now forget how prestigious a club they are.

Henry is a Premier League great that so many young forwa𒆙rds over a decade ago wanted to copy.
