Matt Le Tissier: 'Theo Walcott would be an asset to Chelsea'

Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier claims that Theo Walcott would be an asset to Chelsea, should the Arsenal star move this summer.

Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier believes that Theo Walcott would give Chelsea a different option up front – if the Arsenal forward were to move to Stamford Bridge.

The England international is a reported target for Jose Mourinho's Premier League leaders, with the Blues said to be considering a summer offer.

While Le Tissier feels that Walcott would not necessarily be a first-team regular for Chelsea, the former Saints star thinks that the Arsenal man would be worth pursuing for the Stamford Bridge outfit.

He told talkSPORT: "He has certainly got enough qualities to play in that [Chelsea] team and make a difference.

"Whether or not in that side he would be guaranteed a place every week might be a different question. But I think any of the top teams in this country would be able to make use of what Theo has got."

Walcott has just over a year remaining on his current contract at the Emirates.
