Walcott at Everton training ground ahead of £20m move

Theo Walcott has reportedly arrived at Everton’s training ground today ahead of his expected move to the Toffees.

According to the Daily Mail, Theo should rock up to Finch Farm today (Tuesday) in order to complete his permanent move to Everton with Sky Sports claiming he already has.

The Toffees are expected to pay over £20m for the 28-year-old, who has 18 months left on his current contract with Arsenal.

After almost 12 years in north London, saying goodbye to Theo feels odd.

Although he’s definitely made the right decision for his career and he was never going to become a first team regular at Arsenal given his inconsistency and injury woes, he still did a decent enough job when called upon.

With the World Cup coming up in summer, the forward obviously wants to get as many minutes under his belt as possible and, at Everton, this is far more likely.

At Arsenal, Theo’s only made six Premier League appearances this term and hasn’t made a single start.

With the forward said to be traveling up to Liverpool as we speak, presumably, the deal will now go ahead very quickly.

Theo turned down former club Southampton in favour of the move up north.

Everton have already signed striker Cenk Tosun from Besiktas for £27m.
