The Arsenal forward has struggled for a consistent run in the team this season and has predominantly been a part of the Arsenal ‘B Team’ who play cup matches in the Europa League and Carabao Cup.
Walcott has missed the last month with a sickness bug and he has not featured in the Premier League since the start of October, completing only 46 minutes of top-flight football in three substitute appearances.

Reports have emerged that Sam Allardyce will make a move to sign the 28-year-old in January in an attempt to find a striker to fire Everton out of trouble.
But Arsenal manager Wenger rebuffed suggestions that he would let the player leave.
‘He works hard to come back,’ Wenger added.
‘He had a sickness a few weeks ago. After I didn’t change squad. In training he looks sharp and he will show that.’
Walcott has only 18 months remaining on his current contact and the second half of the season will be indicative of where his future lies.
Wenger has promised the player more time on the pitch in the Premier League, but Walcott will be keen to revive a career that has see him earn 47 England caps.
