Everton legend Trevor Steven says Theo Walcott will “thrive on the big expectations” placed on him at Goodison Park – and the England international’s “ability, pace and goal-scoring threat” make him a prize addition to the Toffees squad.
Walcott scored twice and created another goal in his first two games for the Club. And the 28-year-old will be aiming to replicate his sizzling display in the 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace 11 days ago when the Blues return to Premier League action at Watford on Saturday.
The forward’s close control, mobility and speed combined to push Palace onto the back foot, as the Blues continued the terrific home form which has underpinned their rise up the Premier League table under Sam Allardyce.
