Ian Wright urges Arsenal to accept Everton’s £30m bid for Walcott

Arsenal legend, Ian Wright has said the club should accept a £30m offer for Theo Walcott, amid reports Everton is chasing the England international.

And while Wright insists he will “always love” Walcott, he accepts that the time could be right to move on.

“Sad to see the amount of disrespect that Theo gets from the fans. I’ll always love him, but if it is a 30 million bid, got to take it,” Wright tweeted.

Walcott scored 14 goals for the Gunners by January last season, but quickly faded off, only adding five more as Arsene Wenger’s men failed to qualify for the Champions League.

The arrival of Alexandre Lacazette this summer and the club’s pursuit of Monaco’s Thomas Lemar, may see Walcott spend more time out of the team.
