# Everton star Walcott sets his sights on England recall

After a strong start to the Premier League season, Everton star Theo Walcott is setting his sights on a recall to the England national squad, as per a report from [the Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/theo-walcott-eyeing-england-recall-13142549).

The experienced winger has enjoyed an involved role in Marco Silva’s starting line-up following his arrival at Goodison Park, finding the net on two occasions in only three games.

Walcott impressed in Everton’s recent 2-2 draw against Bournemouth and following the clash, discussed the prospect of being reintegrated into the England squad under Gareth Southgate.

> My ambition is to play well for this club, and for this club to achieve what I believed they can when I joined it. And then, if I play well, who knows?

> But yes, that’s obviously that’s one big time for me to get back into the England squad. I haven’t been in there for a couple of years and hopefully, I get back in. You always want to play for your country.

The 30-year-old has not featured for England since November 2016 and appears to be keen to re-establish himself as a viable attacking option for Southgate in the near future.

Walcott will be desperate to continue in a similar vein of form for Everton as they look to build on their impressive start to the new Premier League campaign, having gone three games without a defeat.

> I’ve got 47 caps and I want that to be a lot more. I’ve just got to keep it up and see where it takes me.
