Arsenal Star To Complete £25m Everton Move On Wednesday, Cenk Tosun’s New Partner Expected To Earn Over £110,000

Arsenal star Theo Walcott will join Everton on a deal that will cost up to £25 million according to the Daily Mail.

Per the source, the England international is expected to earn over £110,000 per-week.

Bournemouth and Southampton were also reported to be in the race but the Toffees will now clinch the deal.

Walcott completed his medical at Everton’s training ground on Tuesday and will join his new club on Wednesday.

The 28-year-old will become Sam Allardyce’s second January signing joining Turkey international Cenk Tosun.

Walcott and Tosun are likely to become partners to bolster a fledgling Everton attack that has struggled for goals.

Allardyce is keen on adding pace to his forward line and wants Walcott to interchange with Yannick Bolasie and Tosun to form a more dynamic attacking unit.

Tosun and Walcott could both start against West Brom on Saturday against West Brom if the England international is registered in time.

It does however, it remains to be seen exactly what position Walcott would play if he were to join.

Allardyce recently said: “I don’t know where I’ll play him until we get that deal done.

“When that deal’s done I can have that conversation with him. I see him playing anywhere across the front three and I’m presuming if he’s not comfortable with that then he’ll tell us and it won’t happen.

“We’d have that conversation if we were going to secure that transfer and we’ll see where it goes from there.”

Walcott can play as a winger and as a striker as can Tosun although the former Besiktas star is more comfortable as the center-forward.

In another transfer development, the Toffees turned down a proposal from Real Betis for Sandro Ramirez.

The Spanish outfit offered loan with an option of making the deal permanent in the summer for £8.8m.

Everton striker Niasse has also attracted interest from Turkey but an official offer has yet to be made.
