The England international was Arsenal's longest-serving player and scored 108 goals for the club but found game time hard to come by this season.

The England international failed to make a single Premier League start under Arsene Wenger this season.

Walcott made the move in a bid to be included in Gareth Southgate's squad for the World Cup in Russia.

As a result of his limited game time at the Emirates, Walcott, who has 47 England caps to his name, has not featured for the Three Lions since their friendly against Spain in November 2016.

Walcott has scored three goals from five Europa League starts and claimed two assists as Wenger used the player primarily in cup competitions.
