Sam Allardyce believes new Everton signing Theo Walcott will bring “excitement” to Goodison Park. England forward Walcott, 28, completed his switch from Arsenal to the Toffees on a three-and-a-half-year contract on
m.beer777 Wednesday evening. The fee is undisclosed but Allardyce’s second signing of the January transfer window reportedly cost £20million. Allardyce said he should have been more “boring” with his team selection after watching Everton get thumped 4-0 by Tottenham on Saturday. But the Toffees boss could not hide his delight at beating off competition from Walcott’s former
m.beer777 club Southampton to land his man. “I am thrilled,” Allardyce told evertontv. “There was a bit of a chase between a couple of clubs but I think after we set out the ambitions of the club and my ambitions for him he was motivated to come here and refreshed in his mind by the new challenge he can put upon himself. “He is
m.beer777 at a prime age. The prime age of a professional footballer is between 25, 26 and 30, 31. That is when they appear, by all research today, to be at the peak of their careers. “We have not got too many players in that age bracket in the squad, so he adds one to that. He has a lot of experience and will hopefully provide a lot of excitement for the Everton fans and for us, in terms of getting results, assists and scoring goals.” Walcott, a double FA Cup winner with Arsenal, says he made the switch in a bid to win more trophies.
