SOUTHAMPTON: JOURNALIST HIGHLIGHTS PLAYER WHO MAY LEAVE

Journalist Tom Barclay has claimed that Ralph Hasenhuttl might be open to letting Theo Walcott leave Southampton in the summer due to his lack of game time this season. There have been recent reports stating that Southampton are keen to let Walcott go, with a move to the United States potentially being on the cards for the 33-year-old winger. Walcott has seen his game time decrease over the past few seasons, as he featured 22 times in the 2020/21 Premier League campaign for both Southampton and Everton, but in the most recent campaign, he made just nine appearances in the league, with only five of those coming from the start.

But you can’t just have players where that’s all they bring and they don’t actually play. He said that was useful last season but, at this point, and that he thinks they would very much be open to letting him go. Continue Reading →
