The 28-year-old’s career has fizzled out in North London and he is yet to start a Premier League game this term.
The Toffees are favourites to sign Walcott at 2/5, having already brought in Turkish international Cenk Tosun for a reported £25million to fill the void upfront.
While the forward is 5/2 to make a return to Southampton – after leaving St Mary’s to join Arsenal in a high-profile move as a 16-year-old in 2006.
Walcott burst onto the scene with his lightning pace in 2005 before earning a glamorous move to Arsenal.

Although if a move away from the Emirates does not materialise this month, Walcott is 6/1 to stay at Arsenal during this window.
Sun Bets spokesman Tim Reynolds said: “Theo Walcott has failed to hit the heights that were expected of him when he arrived as a teen in 2006.
“His time at Arsenal appears to be coming to an end as he has struggled to get into Arsene Wenger’s starting XI.
“His pace and confidence is nowhere near what it used to be. And if he can secure a move elsewhere and get back in form, he could force his way into Gareth Southgate’s World Cup squad.”
