Theo Walcott's career as an Arsenal player could be coming to an end as early as next month, with Everton reportedly making an enquiry about the forward's availability.
Walcott has failed to start a single Premier League game for the Gunners this season, making just three substitute appearances in the league, with the majority of his game time coming in the Europa League.
And new Toffees boss Sam Allardyce is reportedly interesting in taking the 28-year-old to Goodison Park as the former England manager looks to bolster his forward line in the January transfer window.

According to the Mail, Allardyce is eyeing the former Southampton starlet as a replacement for Romelu Lukaku, who left Everton for Manchester United in a £75 million deal over the summer.

Allardyce selected Walcott in his one and only England squad, bringing the Arsenal man on as a second-half substitute during a 1-0 away victory over Slovakia in a World Cup qualifier in September 2016.
The two could now be reunited on Merseyside with Walcott seemingly surplus to requirements in North London after falling out of favour with Arsene Wenger, who has been preferring £52 million summer signing Alexandre Lacazette up front, flanked by the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Alex Iwobi and Mesut Ozil, this season.
Walcott's Arsenal career has been one of unfulfilled potential, with the 28-year-old regularly struggling with injury and never settling on a set position in Arsene Wenger's first XI. Now, with the addition of Lacazette, it seems as if Walcott's time in North London is coming towards an end.

With Everton struggling for firepower so far this season, Walcott could provide the Toffees with a few more options up front.
The former Southampton forward has made 391 appearances in total for Arsenal over the course of his 11 year association with the club, scoring 107 goals and lifting three FA Cups in the process.
Is he the man to cure Everton's goal scoring woes, though?
