(NAIJATRIPZONE SPORTS ) Arsenal’s Theo Walcott Agrees Move To Everton

Posted by @Dogooyungbeatz

Theo Walcott is on the verge of signing for Everton for a fee of £20m, and Goal understands Arsenal will not sanction the sale of Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United until they have agreed to sign Henrikh Mkhitaryan as a replacement.
Arsenal’s longest-serving player Walcott has scored 108 goals for the club but has found game time difficult to come by this season in a year when he is desperate to be included in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the World Cup in Russia.
Everton offered the most attractive financial package to Walcott amid interest from fellow Premier League side West Ham, and is due to undergo a medical on Tuesday afternoon and could be included in Sam Allardyce’s squad for Saturday’s Premier League game at home to West Brom.
The proceeds from the 28-year-old’s sale, which could rise to £25m with add-ons, will go towards Arsenal’s efforts to sign Brazilian winger Malcom from Bordeaux and West Brom centre-back Jonny Evans.
The Gunners are also hopeful of sanctioning the sale of Alexis to United this week but will only do so if they can secure a replacement in the form of Mkhitaryan in a player-plus-cash deal.
Arsene Wenger’s side are holding out for a flat fee of £35m and will look to replace the Chilean with Borussia Dortmund star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has told the Bundesliga giants that he wants to leave the club this month.
It remains unlikely that Arsenal will sign all three of Aubameyang, Malcom and Mkhitaryan in January and Goal understands that the main issues over the latter’s decision to move to the Emirates Stadium revolve around both sporting and financial reasons.
