Arsenal forward Theo Walcott to feature in EFL Cup quarter-final

Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has been declared fit for the club's EFL Cup quarter-final with West Ham United.

Despite returning from illness to star in Arsenal's 6-0 win over BATE Borisov in the Europa League, Walcott has not featured in the matchday squad for the Gunners' last three matches in the Premier League.

However, boss Arsene Wenger has revealed that Walcott will play some part of Tuesday's London derby at the Emirates Stadium, claiming that the attacker is "100% fit".

Walcott has been heavily linked with an exit from the North London outfit in January after failing to make a start in the top flight all season.

However, while Walcott has played just 47 minutes of league football, the England has made seven starts in Europe and the EFL Cup.
