5 Arsenal players who may leave the club in January

#4 Theo Walcott

Walcott's game time has been limited to cup competitions this season

Another former Southampton star, Theo Walcott managed to make himself useful for Wenger last season by playing as a makeshift striker.

But the signing of Alexandre Lacazette has meant that he only has 3 appearances in the league so far this season, and the form of Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Özil, and Alex Iwobi means his chances in wide areas are limited as well.

Walcott will forever be an enigma for Arsenal. He does not have the skillset that is most commonly associated with his position, but a combination of blistering pace and a keen goalscoring sense meant that he almost always found ways to come in handy for manager Arsene Wenger.

His regularity in the first team has severely been affected by injuries. Even so, this season seems to be his worst one yet. A player of Walcott's quality shouldn't be satisfied with the odd cameo in the Premier League and scattered starts in domestic cup competitions.

His run for the national team seems to be over as well, with Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford establishing themselves as the first choice wingers.

Everton has been lurking for a while, and considering the Toffees' nightmare start to the season, they will jump at the opportunity to have another attacking option.

At the age of 28, it makes sense for him to seek out newer pastures while he still has the pace to burn.
