When a young Theo Walcott made his Premier League debut for Arsenal at a very young age, the world was at his feet. With his electric pace and terrifying speed, he was tipped to be a big hit in the league and at Arsenal.


However, things didn't go quite as planned. He could not live up to the hype and expectations that surrounded him at the time, prompting him to leave his boyhood club. After arriving at Everton, Walcott looked to have a fresh start and begin his career anew. He played his first few games as a Toffee and fans got reminded of the good old days when he dashed past defenders to either score or create an assist.

England international Theo Walcott has revived his ailing football career following his return to Southampton at the start of this season and Everton legend Tim Cahill believes that the £9m winger would be a success at the St. Mary's Stadium. Cahill praised the early impact of Walcott in his second Southampton spell while he was on BBC Match of the Day. According to him, Saints fans would be rubbing their hands at the prospects of Walcott linking up with Che Adams and Danny Ings in attack though Ingsis currently sidelined until next month due to a knee injury.

Over the past few months, the club have been regularly linked with the Brazil Under-20 international and his representative Fernando Garcia has confirmed that the Toffees have made the first offer to sign the centre-back. However, he added that there is competition for the player’s services with Napoli having made a bid of their own for the former Avai graduate.

Everton defender Seamus Coleman has expressed his dismay over the team’s performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Toffees produced a disappointing showing against the west Midlands outfit on the road and they succumbed to a 3-0 defeat which has ended their prospects of qualifying for Europe.

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has heaped praise on Mason Holgate and believes the centre-back has the qualities to become an elite defender. The 23-year-old has been a regular feature in the Toffees backline under Carlo Ancelotti and he started 14 of the opening 15 games under the Italian before being ruled out for the season with a shin injury.

Everton centre-back Mason Holgate has expressed his delight after learning that the club have offered a contract extension to Leighton Baines. Baines has made over 400 appearances for the Toffees during the course of his career and he has been offered the chance to prolong his stay for another campaign.

Former Premier League star Paul Robinson believes Everton can lure James Rodriguez to the club with the influence of manager Carlo Ancelotti. Ancelotti has previously worked with Rodriguez at Real Madrid and Bayern Munich and the Italian has recently been fancied to reunite with the Colombian for the third occasion.

Montreal Impact manager Thierry Henry is looking forward to the performances of Victor Wanyama, who made the switch from Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month. The Kenya international had been linked with a potential exit from Spurs over the past couple of seasons and he has eventually sealed his departure with a move to Major League Soccer.

Former Premier League ace Neville Southall believes Theo Walcott does not look happy with his position at Everton. The England international made the switch to the Toffees from Arsenal in January 2018 and he has since struggled to live up to the expectations.

In the current season, he has netted just one goal from 21 league appearances and Southall feels the attacker may need a fresh challenge during the backend of his career.
