Theo Walcott joined Everton from Arsenal in January 2018.
Born in Stanmore, London, Walcott was raised in Newbury and spotted as a 10-year-old by Swindon Town playing for his village side in 2000. He remained with the Robins for only six months before turning down Chelsea to link up with Southampton.
He caught the eye within Saints’ prestigious academy, starring in a run to the 2005 FA Youth Cup final, where the south coast team were beaten by Ipswich Town.
Aged 15 years and 175 days, Walcott became the youngest player to turn out for Southampton’s reserve side in match against Watford.
