Liverpool Transfers: 10 Players Who Could Replace Raheem Sterling
5. Theo Walcott - Arsenal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=626rBq3b9sUA swap deal involving Theo Walcott has already been mooted as a potential scenario by various outlets amid the England wingers troublesome contract dispute at Arsenal.
Walcott would address Liverpools need for a direct pacy forward replacement for Sterling in incredibly nimble fashion, although the 26-year old lacks the natural flair and ingenuity of Sterling - and most specifically, the ability to play effectively in the No. 10. role.
But for what the Arsenal man lacks in a creative sense, he more than makes up for it with his blend of frightening pace and goalscoring prowess which has produced a potent record of 38 goals and 29 assists in 119 Premier League appearances since 2010.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is an advocate of nurturing home-grown talent and Walcotts lack of playing time in his favoured position at Arsenal will more than likely see him depart from The Emirates anyways, meaning a move to Merseyside is certainly plausible.
