The
28-year-old struggled to get enough playing time at the Emirates Stadium
because of back to back injuries in the recent years.
Walcott
will be eyeing to shine in the remainder of the season, so he can make it to
the England squad for the World Cup which will be held in Russia in the coming summer.
The
Englishman is likely to get a direct spot in the starting eleven. Right winger Aaron
Lennon has been in poor form this season, he is yet score a goal so far in 19
appearances.
Good move for the Everton fans, but still Arsenal should have kept him.
