Arsenal forward Theo Walcott is likely to join West Ham this summer, according to The Sun.

The England international has been a fringe figure at the Emirates Stadium over the last 12 months, with the dynamic forward forced to be content with a number of cameo roles from the Gunners bench.

A lack of first-team football has seen Walcott omitted from England’s squad for Euro 2016 and his club future is in doubt as a result.

West Ham are eager to bring high-profile players to the club and a move for the former Southampton prodigy would be an exciting one for the Olympic Stadium faithful.

The latest report suggests that Arsenal are closing in on a double deal for Leicester City duo Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, with Walcott allowed to leave as a consequence and destined for a move across London.

Walcott has made his desire to play as a centre forward, rather than a winger, known in the past.
