Arsenal and England forward Theo Walcott is a transfer target for West Ham United, according to a report from James Olley of The Evening Standard.
The 27-year-old has lost his starting role at the Gunners and a lack of regular playing time led to him missing out on selection for the England squad for Euro 2016.
According to the report, West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is a keen admirer of the former Southampton man and is willing to take him to the Olympic Stadium to help him revive his stalling career.
However, the move seems to hinge on whether or not the Gunners can sign Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy. Arsenal want to sign the England forward and if they do, then they’ll apparently let Walcott move on.
Walcott will need to reduce his £140,000-a-week wages if he does move to the Hammers, but he may be willing to do that in order to get his career back on track.
