One of the potential sticking points over a move to the San Siro would be his ineligibility to feature in Europe, having already played for the Gunners in the Europa League.

But Walcott would have an advantage in that regard at Milan as manager Gennaro Gattuso speaks English following a brief spell at Rangers early in his career.
Walcott joined Arsenal from Southampton at the age of 16 in 2006 and was regarded as one of the brightest prospects in English football.
