Everton to swoop for Arsenal outcast Theo Walcott?

Everton manager Sam Allardyce has reportedly placed Arsenal attacker Theo Walcott on his transfer wishlist for January.

The England international, who moved to the North London club from Southampton in 2006, has slipped further down the rankings at the Emirates.

This season so far, the 28-year-old has made just 11 appearances in all competitions, but none of those were Premier League starts.

In fact, Walcott has played just 47 minutes of top-flight action across three substitute appearances, with the majority of his outings being restricted to the Europa League and EFL Cup.

According to The Mirror, Everton have enquired about the attacker's availability as Allardyce wants to offer the player an escape route out of Arsenal.

The Toffees are expected to free up significant funds in January for the manager to improve the squad.
