Barcelona linked with Arsenal’s Theo Walcott
Barcelona are keen to sign Arsenal star Theo
Walcott, according to Catalan newspaper Mundo
Deportivo.
The England international, who has predominantly
played as a right winger before establishing
himself as a central striker this term, has
emerged as a shock transfer target for the
European champions, the report claims.
Walcott, aged 26, is reportedly seen as a player
with the pace and versatility to operate within
Luis Enrique’s squad.
Barca are short of a pacy attacker having sold
Pedro Rodriguez to Chelsea in the summer
transfer window but been prevented from signing
a replacement by their transfer ban.
The Catalan giants have also lost Rafinha to a
long-term injury and will want to bolster their
squad in the January transfer window, which is
when they are tipped to make an approach for
Walcott.
It is unlikely the high-flying Gunners would be
willing to part with one of their two senior
strikers at that stage unless they had lined up a
top class replacement.
