4. Theo Walcott scores on Everton debut

Theo Walcott is an Arsenal player no more. After 12 years as a Gunner, Walcott has finally left London to find some regular playing time with Everton. The England international moved to the Toffees for £27 million as he signed a three-and-a-half year contract with the Merseyside club.

This weekend Walcott could well make his first start for an Everton side that desperately need goals. Sam Allardyce’s men were undone at the back last week by Spurs but they lacked a proper threat going forward as well.

Now, with the signings of Cenk Tosun and Walcott, Everton fans can’t really have any complaints about their strike force. This weekend the Toffees host West Brom in a game that their fans would expect them to win.

Walcott will be gunning for a start after spending so much time on the bench at Arsenal. He might get his wish and if he does we fancy the former teenage sensation to come up with a debut goal.

When he gets out of his head, the England man can be a deadly finisher and if he puts together a good run of form he could find himself heading to Russia for the 2018 World Cup.
