Fiorentina to make loan move for Theo Walcott?

Serie A side Fiorentina are apparently preparing a loan move for Arsenal forward Theo Walcott, according to The Express.

The England international recently returned to first-team at the Emirates following nine months out with a knee injury.

The Express reports that La Viola will make an offer to sign the 25-year-old on loan for the rest of the season.

In addition to this, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger would be willing to allow the short-term move such that Walcott attains full fitness ahead of next season.

Walcott returned to the first-team with a 10 minute cameo during Arsenal's 3-0 home win over Burnley last weekend.
