Following the UEFA Euros final loss that England suffered at the hands of Italy on Sunday, some of the Three Lions players were subject to harsh racial abuse online. As the second half of extra time approached a tail-end, the scoreline was still 1-1, with neither side able to find a breakthrough after 120 minutes of football.

Southampton winger Theo Walcott has revealed that his former side, Arsenal tried to sign him at the end of last season but decided against a return to the Emirates Stadium because he wanted to continue playing regular football. Walcott is not a stranger to Arsenal fans having spent the majority of his footballing career at the Emirates. He was promoted to the first team from the youth setup by former manager Arsene Wenger and he would then be allowed to show himself at the London club.

Walcott burst onto the scene as an electric winger and was known for terrorizing opposition defenders with his brilliant pace and attacking flair. He played a couple of games under Wenger but decided to leave the club after he started playing fewer games in London. He was sold to Merseyside outfit, Everton from Arsenal and was given the chance to rejuvenate his career at Goodison Park.

Everton winger Theo Walcott has been confirmed to be leaving Goodison Park in the summer according to a wide range of reports. The English forward is currently playing for Everton's Premier League rivals Southampton and has been at the St Mary's since the beginning of the season after joining them on a season-long loan since last summer. A move to the Saints is probably what the former Arsenal attacker needed as he has not only been given more playing opportunities, but he has also shown that he still has some qualities as well.
