West Ham United are reportedly considering a summer move for Arsenal forward Theo Walcott as they prepare to move into the Olympic Stadium.
Manager Slaven Bilic is thought to have significant funds at his disposal this summer as part of "ambitious spending plans" to strengthen the squad for next season.
According to Bleacher Report, Bilic's top target is Gunners winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain but they will turn their attentions to teammate Walcott if they fail with their approach.
The Hammers fear that Oxlade-Chamberlain may be "too expensive" a transfer in a bidding war with Southampton, who are planning an aggressive pursuit for the England star.
The report adds that Arsenal could be tempted to offload Walcott, who has featured 24 times in the league this season, if "the right price" is offered.
