Everton attacker Theo Walcott eyes a return to the England squad following his impressive start to the 2018-19 campaign.

Everton attacker Theo Walcott has insisted that he has not given up hope of working his way back into the England set-up despite not representing his country since 2016.

Walcott earned the first of his England caps back in 2006 and has scored eight times in 47 appearances for the Three Lions.

The 29-year-old was left out of the squads for Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup, however, amid an indifferent spell at club level.

Walcott has started the 2018-19 campaign in impressive fashion for Everton though - managing two goals in his three Premier League appearances - and the attacker is now eyeing a return to the national team.

"My ambition is to play well for this club, and for this club to achieve what I believed they can when I joined it. And then if I play well, then who knows? But yes, that's obviously that's one big thing for me to get back into the England squad," The Independent quotes Walcott as saying.

"I haven't been in there for a couple of years now but yes, if I continue to play the right stuff I'll hopefully get back in there. But my goal isn't to be thinking of England, my goal is to be playing well for Everton football club first, and then obviously we can cross that bridge when we come to it.

"But yes, obviously you always want to play for your country. I've got 47 caps and I want that to be a lot more. So yes, I'll continue to play well and we'll see where that takes me."

Walcott scored 108 times for Arsenal before moving to Everton in January 2018.
