Arsenal Star Edges Closer To Completing £20m Everton Move
Everton are edging closer towards completing their second transfer of the January transfer window.
Arsenal forward Theo Walcott may end up joining Cenk Tosun at Everton, who joined from Besiktas last Friday.
The Toffees have ‘made progress’ in their attempt to sign Walcott according to the Guardian.
Per the source, Everton are hopeful of completing a £20 million transfer deal with the Gunners out-of-favor man this week.
Sam Allardyce has made no secret that he want Walcott but Everton face competition from the England international’s former club Southampton.

Talks are understood to have reached an advanced stage between Everton and Walcott’s representatives.
Walcott will leave Arsenal after a 12-year stint at the club if the deal does go through as planned.
The 28-year-old currently has 18 months remaining on his current contract which is worth £110,000 a week.
Everton have struggled for goals this season and have made strengthening their attacking line a priority.
Walcott would provide additional attacking support to Tosun who was an isolated figure in his debut against Tottenham over the weekend.
