Walcott Called On To Keep Up Fast Start

Sam Allardyce has called on Theo Walcott to continue as he’s started at Everton, as the England international gets set for a quick return to Arsenal.

The 28-year-old forward joined the Blues on 17 January, penning a three-and-a-half-year deal having spent 12 years with the Gunners.

Walcott has taken no time to make an impression for the Blues, impressing on his debut in the 1-1 draw with West Brom, before grabbing both goals in Wednesday night’s 2-1 victory over Leicester City at Goodison.

The recent recruit heads back to the Emirates on Saturday when Everton travel to Arsenal, the club where Walcott scored 108 goals in 396 appearances.
