Leeds United should attempt to sign Everton’s Theo Walcott next summer if they earn promotion to the Premier League for the 2019-2020 campaign.

What’s the word, then?

Leeds are currently going very well in the Championship, with a total of 45 points from 22 matches leaving them top of the division entering the festive period.

Leeds have won each of their last five in the Championship – conceding just once – and have a huge match away to Aston Villa this weekend.

It seems extremely likely that the Whites will be in the mix for promotion come the end of the season, and the club’s plans will switch to preparing for life back in the Premier League.

Whilst Marcelo Bielsa has a talented squad at Championship level, investment will need to be made for Leeds to compete in the top flight next term.

And the Championship leaders should target an ambitious move for Everton’s Walcott.

Could Leeds actually sign Walcott?

Walcott, who has managed 70 goals in 301 Premier League appearances during his career, only joined Everton from Arsenal in January 2018.

The 29-year-old received a lot of stick during the latter stages of this time at Arsenal, but it is worth remembering that he scored over 100 times for the Gunners.

Walcott impressed in the second half of last season, but has managed just two Premier League goals this term, and his last was back in August.

It seems likely that the Englishman could become available at the end of the season as Everton again prepare to spend big in order to keep pushing forward.

And the chance to represent a huge club on their return to the top flight would surely appeal to a player who has never really gone on to fulfil his early promise.
