CARDIFF CITY reportedly have an “interest” in signing former Arsenal forward Theo Walcott.
The 33-year-old rejoined boyhood club Southampton following a three-year stint at Everton in 2021 after a successful loan spell.
But he was restricted to just nine Premier League appearances last term and is yet to get even a minute of action this term.
Walcott appears to be surplus to requirements under Ralph Hasenhuttl and could be heading out of the St Mary’s exit door before tonight’s transfer deadline.
And a fresh report has suggested that a switch to the Championship could be on the cards.
The Daily Telegraph’s Mike McGrath says that there is “initial interest from Cardiff City” however there are also “other clubs expected to come in for ex-England international” today.

WalesOnline also claims that Cardiff have contacted Southampton over a potential deal.
Although they also add that the prospect of the Bluebirds signing the veteran is “highly unlikely”.
Walcott, who scored eight goals in 48 games for the Three Lions, last appeared for the Saints in their victory at Tottenham way back on Wednesday 9 February.
He initially burst on to the scene after coming through the ranks at Southampton as a 16-year-old, earning a big-money move to Arsenal in 2006.
