Theo Walcott has revealed he was talked into swapping Arsenal for Everton by former England team-mate Wayne Rooney.
The 28-year-old forward spent 12 years at Arsenal, and posted a montage of images from his days playing for the Gunners on Twitter, before later recording a video message for Instagram in which he thanked fans for their support.
Walcott, who won two FA Cups with Arsenal, completed his switch from the Gunners to Goodison Park on a three-and-a-half-year contract on Wednesday evening.
