Theo Walcott: Everton forward heading for Southampton medical before loan move

Everton forward Theo Walcott is heading to Southampton for a medical before a season-long loan move.

The 31-year-old is struggling to figure in Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti's plans and his former club have made an approach about a loan deal.

Walcott, who has played for England 47 times, started his career at Southampton before moving to Arsenal in 2006.

Everton signed him from the Gunners in a £20m deal in January 2018.

Southampton are keen on adding a wide player/midfielder to their squad and at least two other Premier League clubs have enquired about Walcott, but he is believed to be keen on a return to the south coast.
