That is the opinion of ESPN FC pundit and former West Ham goalkeeper Shaka Hislop.

Walcott is yet to start a Premier League game for Arsenal this season.

The England international has seen the majority of his football come in cup competitions so far this term.

Everton are one of a number of teams interested in his services ahead of the January transfer window, while Express Sport understands Southampton are also ready to make a move for him.
