Everton are looking to complete £20m deal for Theo Walcott this week.

Theo Walcott of Arsenal arrives at the stadium prior to the Premier League match between AFC Bournemouth and Arsenal at Vitality Stadium on January 14, 2018 in Bournemouth, England.

According to reports from The Mirror, Everton are trying to complete the deal for Arsenal winger Theo Walcott this week.

The 28-year-old has made 270 Premier League appearances for the Gunners since joining from Southampton in 2006, and scored 65 goals.

However, this season he has found game time hard to come by, and looks all set to leave the north London club in the January transfer window.

Walcott came off the bench in Arsenal’s 2-1 loss at Bournemouth on Sunday, and according to the Mirror, it could prove to be his final match in an Arsenal shirt.

Everton boss Sam Allardyce is desperate to bolster his goal-shy side, and despite signing Cenk Tosun in January, the Toffees boss is looking to add more bodies in the strike department.

The Toffees are also reportedly interested in Atletico Madrid’s Nico Gaitan, but Walcott remains Everton’s first choice.

As it stands, the Merseyside club are looking to complete a £20 million deal for the England international this week.
