Arsenal forward Walcott high on West Ham agenda

West Ham United are readying a summer offer for Arsenal's Theo Walcott, according to reports.

The Daily Mail is of the belief that the Hammers are preparing to go after the 27-year-old forward in the next transfer window as they continue their plans to bring in some quality additions for their move to the Olympic Stadium.

Slaven Bilic is reportedly keen on Walcott and is set to offer him regular first team football following a frustrating few seasons with the Gunners.

Walcott, who has started just 15 times in the Premier League for Arsene Wenger this term, is contracted at the Emirates Stadium until the summer of 2019 but could be prepared to hold talks with the North London club regarding his future.

The England international has joined Marseille's Michy Batshuayi, Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette, Liverpool's Christian Benteke and Manchester City's Wilfried Bony on the wish-list of the Hammers who are determined to lure some big names to East London.
