Arsenal star Theo Walcott has passed a medical at Everton ahead of a £20m move to Goodison Park, according to the Daily Mail.
The Gunners forward was spotted at Everton’s training ground Finch Farm on Tuesday afternoon as he underwent the medical and it seems all went swimmingly well in the examinations.
Walcott has a long history of injuries but has been available for Arsenal in recent weeks. Despite this, though, he has been limited to substitute appearances and starts in cup competitions by Arsene Wenger, which has led him to seek a move elsewhere.
The 28-year-old is set to be Everton’s second attacking signing of the January transfer window following Cenk Tosun’s £27m move from Besiktas earlier on in the month.
Competition has been fierce in the race for Walcott’s signature but it appears as though the allure of playing under Sam Allardyce again on Merseyside has proved to be too good an opportunity for the player to turn down.
Everton are hopeful the deal will be conclude in the next few days.
