Everton are in talks to sign Walcott from Arsenal.
Don Hutchison has questioned old club Everton’s move for Arsenal forward Theo Walcott.
Everton manager Sam Allardyce confirmed on Friday that negotiations with Arsenal are ‘ongoing’, but insisted that a deal is ‘not imminent’.
It has been reported that Walcott could cost between £20 million and £30 million and according to Hutchison, the 28-year-old would be a signing made ‘for the sake of it’.
The former Scotland international posted the following on Twitter: “Just reading Everton (are) working on a deal to sign Theo Walcott. Why, when they have a brilliant youngster in (Ademola) Lookman? Looks like a signing for the sake of it to me.”
Walcott has only played 872 minutes of football for Arsenal this season, but has still managed to score four goals of his own and provide another five for his teammates.
And the majority of Everton fans appear to be on board with the England international’s arrival.
Here’s what they’re saying, in response to Hutchison’s tweet:
Everton have already strengthened their attack with the signing of former Besiktas striker Cenk Tosun this month.
Tosun had scored 14 goals in 24 for the Turkish side this season, prior to his move to Goodison Park.
