Walcott passes medical, agrees terms ahead of £20m move
Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has passed a medical and agreed personal terms ahead of his move to Everton, according to a report.
Reports on Tuesday suggested that Walcott was reportedly on the verge of signing for Everton for a fee of £20million as the Gunners search for a replacement for both he and Alexis Sanchez.
The 28-year-old is seeking fresh pastures as he believes that he can force his way into Gareth Southgate’s England plans for this summer’s World Cup.
According to the Daily Mail, the deal could rise to £25million and terms worth £110k-a-week has been agreed.
A move to West Ham and a return to the Saints were said to be options but Toffees boss Sam Allardyce looks to have got the deal over the line, as Everton try and add pace to their forward department.
Walcott is Arsenal’s longest serving player, having joined from Southampton 2006, and has scored 108 goals for the Gunners.
