West Ham United are known to be looking for pace up-front this summer.

Slaven Bilic has already suggested that West Ham United will be looking to add pace to their forward line this summer, and Arsenal’s Theo Walcott should be on their wishlist.

The Telegraph have said that Everton are pursuing a deal for Walcott, who could be made available by Arsene Wenger.

And West Ham should make sure that they are also in the race for the England international.

Arsenal's Theo Walcott

Walcott’s career at Arsenal may have stalled in recent times, but he remains an excellent forward.

The 28-year-old should be entering the peak years of his career, but at Arsenal it is hard to see him getting enough game time to impress.

Walcott has made 38 appearances for the Gunners this season, and he has managed to score 19 times – despite many of his outings being as a substitute.

It now seems that it has reached a point when Walcott should leave Arsenal, and if West Ham could complete transfer he could be perfect for Bilic’s side.
