"There's something about this move I've just felt good about," Theo Walcott said.
"It felt like it was time for me to move on.
"It
was sad but it's exciting at the same time and I want to reignite my
career and push Everton to win things as they have done before.
"The
manager is very hungry and it's just what I need. I've had a couple of
chats with him and straightaway I felt that hunger and that desire that
he wanted from me."
Theo Walcott has scored 108 goals in 397 matches for Arsenal in total since joining them from Southampton in 2006.
Theo Walcott becomes Sam Allardyce's second signing of the January transfer window following the arrival of Besiktas striker Cenk Tosun.
