Theo Walcott scored in Everton’s end-of-season game on Sunday.
Theo Walcott has revealed to The Echo that he’s looking to ‘get away’ from Everton, but only for his post-season holiday.
The 30-year-old was given a rare start on Sunday as Everton drew 2-2 at Tottenham Hotspur in their final game of the Premier League season.
It’s been a frustrating last few months for Walcott, who scored at Spurs yesterday.
The former Arsenal attacker, a £20 million signing 18 months ago [The Telegraph], has found himself regularly on the bench after Bernard and Richarlison established themselves as mainstays in Marco Silva’s first XI.
Silva dismissed suggestions that Walcott would leave the Toffees this summer, and the England international did the same on Sunday.
He told The Echo: “You see, this is just rumours! Now, I’m thinking of a nice holiday! I’m looking to get away, yes, but not what you’re thinking!”
He hasn’t been a huge success since joining Everton, but Walcott, who netted five Premier League goals this past season, is a very useful squad player to have.
Whether or not he is content with being a squad player remains to be seen, though.
