Arsenal ready to sell Everton and West Ham United target Theo Walcott in January

Everton and West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing England international forward Theo Walcott, according to The Sun.

The Premier League duo, who currently sit 16th and 15th in the top-flight standings respectively after their opening seven league games, have been linked with the out of favour Arsenal winger ahead of the January transfer window.

The 28-year-old, who has 47 international caps for the Three Lions, has scored three goals and provided an assist in seven appearances in all competitions for The Gunners so far this season.

Walcott, who joined Arsenal back in January 2006 following his move from Premier League rivals Southampton, has netted 107 times in almost 400 games for the North London outfit overall, winning three FA Cups and two FA Community Shields.

Arsenal’s Theo Walcott celebrates scoring against BATE Borisov in the UEFA Europa League.

However, the report suggests Gunners manager Arsene Wenger could sell the forward in the New Year market, as the Frenchman looks to offload bit-part players from his squad, with Walcott failing to start a league game so far this campaign.

He has little over 18 months remaining on his current £110,000-a-week deal at the Emirates Stadium.
