Everton plot £30m Walcott bid

Everton are planning a £30million move for Arsenal’s Theo Walcott.

Manager Ronald Koeman had been hoping to make it a Gunners double by snapping up Olivier Giroud too, but the France striker seems bound for Borussia Dortmund as the German club’s replacement for Chelsea-bound Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

That has seen Koeman switch his attention to Crystal Palace’s former Liverpool hitman Christian Benteke.

While it’s no-go over Giroud, he could be more successful in his pursuit of England wide-man Walcott, who was in and out of Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger’s plans last season.
