West
Ham United have made a £25 million bid for Arsenal forward Theo Walcott who is
set to leave the club this summer.
Arsenal
attacker Theo Walcott is expected to leave the club this summer after being
linked with several other sides, according to Evening Standard.
West
Ham have been in search for a speedy attacker after a great season which ended
last month. The Hammers are keen to add more depth to the squad in order to
remain consistent in the Premier League.
West
Ham finished on seventh spot, four points behind the fourth spot side
Manchester United.
The
Englishman was not selected by Roy Hodgson for the European Championship squad
due to the limited time he played at Arsenal in the recent season.
Premier League Champions Leicester City are also said to be interested in Walcott but
the reports strongly claimed that West Ham are leading the race for the former
Southampton star.
It
is also reported that, Leicester City may demand Walcott in Jamie Vardy's deal
who is expected to join the North London side this summer.
Arsenal
boss Arsene Wenger will discuss the future with Walcott in the coming week.
Meanwhile, his agent is likely to hand a transfer request in the coming days.
