5. Dominic Calvert-Lewin – Everton

Everton might actually go down. One of the few teams never to have been relegated from the Premier League, a club of their size, with the hundreds of millions of pounds they’ve p*ssed down the toilet, on the eve of building a new stadium and having just appointed a legend of the division, may actually be bidding farewell.

For the way they’ve been run and the cash they’ve blown, they might just deserve it. And Frank Lampard taking them there would be hilarious, too.

Which means it’d be transfer time for the rest of the Premier League.

The standout name in their squad is Dominic Calvert-Lewin, someone it is well documented is high on Arsenal’s list of striker targets for the coming summer. Everton are said to be wanting around £60m for him, and if they do go down you can be sure he’ll be pushing for an exit. He’s an England international, after all.

The likes of Richarlison and Anthony Gordon will be eyed up too, but for Arsenal there is one man and one man only they’ll be setting their sights on, irrespective of where the Toffees end up.
