#4 Update on Walcott
Sam Allardyce has confirmed that Everton are indeed trying to secure the services of Theo Walcott, but not on loan. In fact, the former England manager stated that the deal will be permanent.
“Some negotiations are going on. [The deal] is permanent, I don’t think there’s any chance of a loan."
“We’ll wait and see. I’ll be very excited and enthused- if it’s not Theo- if somebody has signed on the dotted line."
“You don’t get optimistic because so many things can happen in such a short space of time. You never get excited until someone has signed on the dotted line.”
The price quoted by various outlets is somewhere around £20 million.
