Southampton are close to agreeing a deal with Everton to sign Theo Walcott on loan with the winger poised to complete a return to St Mary’s Stadium.
The two club’s are expected to pay half of the forwards wages each and Southampton have untill 11pm on Deadline Day to finalise a move for their former player, who is due to undergo a medical ahead of a proposed move.
Walcott joined Everton from Arsenal for a fee of around £20m in January, 2018 and has gone on to make 85 appearances for the club.
However, he is into the last year of his contract and does not appear to be key to Carlo Ancelotti’s plans this season, having only played 12 minutes of Everton’s first four premier league games.
