Theo Walcott has managed to score just three goals for Marco Silva’s Everton side this season.

The Guardian have claimed that Everton are open to selling Theo Walcott this summer, and they would be making the right call by doing so.

Walcott’s future at Goodison Park has come into sharp focus, after suggestions that Everton are looking to reduce the average age of their squad.

Walcott, who is now 30, is reaching the twilight of his career and he has lost his place in Marco Silva’s side this season.

The England international forward has struggled to make an impact for Everton, with just three goals to his name.

Everton would now be making the right call by offloading him and looking in a new direction.

Walcott is one of Everton’s top earners, after being handed a £100,000-a-week deal by the Merseyside club (Sportac).

Everton would be better off investing that money elsewhere, rather than keeping hold on Walcott in the hope he can rediscover his top form next season.

And even though Everton are likely to suffer a loss on Walcott, given that they paid £20 million for him last year (Telegraph), selling him looks to be the correct decision from Marco Silva.
