Arsenal attacker The"?o Walcott is likely to leave Arsenal and join London rivals West Ham United this summer, according to reports from The Sun.
The forward, who signed for Arsenal as a teenager back in 2006, was a fringe-player for the Gunners for large parts of last season, and has fallen out of favour with the England squad after being left out of Roy Hodgson's side for the European Championships.
With reports surfacing that Arsenal are prepared to seal the deal on a double-swoop for Leicester City pair Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, Walcott would be allowed to leave as a consequence of that, with a move across London his likely destination.
West Ham are eager to bring higher profile players to the club in preparation for their move to the Olympic Stadium, and the former Southampton prodigy would certainly make a good addition to Slavan Bilic's squad for next season.

Walcott made 42 appearances for Arsenal last season, scoring 12 goals, and has eight goals in 48 caps for England
Walcott career at Arsenal has been one of mixed fortunes. The England international has stated in the past, his desire to play as a centre forward after usually being played on the wings due to his incredible speed.
He made his Premier League debut in 2006, coming on as a substitute in a game against Aston Villa. The game finished 1-1, with Walcott setting up Arsenal's equaliser for Gilberto Silva. His first goal for the Gunners came in a 2-1 loss to Chelsea in the 2007 League Cup final.
