With just days left before the window closes, this unexpected move could shake up both squads.

Calvert-Lewin’s contract at Everton is set to expire at the end of the season, which has sparked rumors about his possible departure.

Everton eye Nketiah as Calvert-Lewin's future hangs in the balance

According to sources, Everton have shown interest in Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah, and a swap deal could be on the cards.

Wyness, who served as Everton’s CEO, believes that both clubs could benefit from such a deal, especially after Everton’s disappointing 3-0 loss to Brighton on the opening day of the season.

Wyness expressed that Everton needs to refresh their attacking options, and bringing in Nketiah could be the solution.

“Still, Calvert-Lewin’s future is yet to be decided. Eddie Nketiah could be coming as a replacement, and it could even be some kind of swap deal. It could work,” Wyness said on the Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast.

As the transfer deadline approaches, Everton and Arsenal fans will be eagerly watching to see if this shocking swap deal becomes a reality.
