West Ham United are hoping to make Arsenal winger Theo Walcott their first summer signing, with the Hammers in pole position to complete the deal, according to reports.

It is understood that West Ham are looking to boost their playing squad, prior to their Olympic Stadium move, and view Walcott as an ideal prospect to move the East London outfit forward.

The 27-year-old has been tipped to depart Arsenal at the end of the current Premier League season, despite making 45 appearances for Arsene Wenger’s Gunners this term.

Walcott, who joined Arsenal as a teenager in 2006, has a price tag of ÂŁ20m, which West Ham are looking to reach, in order to get a deal over the line in a swift manner.

Ligue 1 pair, Michy Batshuayi and Alexandre Lacazette are also proposed transfer targets for Slaven Bilic, who hopes to start the club’s new era in a positive way.
