Arsenal forward Theo Walcott is a reported transfer target for West Ham United, as per James Olley of The Evening Standard.
The 27-year-old lost his starting role at the Gunners at the tail-end of last season, and a lack of regular playing time led to him missing out on selection for the England squad for Euro 2016.
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is apparently a keen admirer of the former Southampton man and is willing to take him to the Olympic Stadium to help him revive his stalling career.
However, the move seems to hinge on whether or not the Gunners can sign Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy.
Arsenal want to sign the England forward but he has yet to decide whether to stay with the Premier League champions or join the Gunners. If Vardy decides to move to North London, then it seems like Arsene Wenger will allow Walcott to join the Hammers.
Walcott will need to reduce his £140,000-a-week wages if he does move to West Ham but he may be willing to do that in order to get his career back on track.
