Your support makes all the difference.Southampton have been in contact with Everton about re-signing Theo Walcott, after the Merseyside club landed Ben Godfrey from Norwich.
With new signing James Rodriguez having made the wide-right spot his own thanks to an excellent start to his Goodison Park career, Walcott's first-team chances look like being limited.
The 31-year-old is in the final year of his contract, and while a return to Saints is thought to be his preferred choice, he has also been linked with Crystal Palace, West Ham, Fulham and Newcastle.
Norwich announced they had received a club-record fee for Godfrey, whose deal ties him to Everton until the end of June 2025.
The 22-year-old made 30 appearances for relegated Norwich in the Premier League last season, and had been linked to a number of top-flight clubs this transfer window.
The centre-back completed a medical with the Premier League leaders over the weekend before the deal was announced on Monday morning.
