Everton could offload Theo Walcott this summer, according to reports.
Everton are facing another big summer with Marcel Brands at the helm, and outgoings will be just as important as the incomings at Goodison Park.
It’s been an up-and-down season under Marco Silva, but some strong recent performances have given fans a renewed sense of hope ahead of the summer window.
Brands will be looking for talented, young players with resale value, and experienced players will be leaving Everton to make way for that fresh blood.
Phil Jagielka and Leighton Baines look set to move on, and The Mirror now report that Theo Walcott’s future is also in question as Brands gets ready to swing the axe.
Walcott, 30, joined Everton from Arsenal in January 2018, with Sam Allardyce handing him a deal worth a whopping £100,000-a-week according to Spotrac.
Walcott hasn’t proven to be value for money, as he has contributed just three goals and two assists in 31 Premier League outings, leaving fans hugely frustrated.
Southampton are thought to be keen on re-signing their former winger, and news of Walcott’s potential exit has sparked major reactions from Toffees fans on Twitter.
Many want Walcott gone, suggesting that they would drive him to his next destination, feeling that he offers nothing and was a ‘West Ham signing’ all along, though one fan was excited about his exit potentially opening up room for Nikola Vlasic next season.
