Everton striker Theo Walcott after finding the net for the second time this season still has the goal of returning to the England squad.

“You’re always going to be judged on your goals and assists, so I am very pleased with how I have started,” he said. “I had virtually no pre-season as well because, I had an ankle injury, but I’ve managed to get straight back into it and it’s been going well for me at the moment.

“I think you can sense the style we are playing is completely different to what we are used to and I am thoroughly enjoying it.”

“My ambition is to play well for this club, and for this club to achieve what I believed they can when I joined it,” the 30-year-old added. “And then, if I play well, who knows?

“But yes, that’s obviously that’s one big time for me to get back into the England squad. I haven’t been in there for a couple of years and hopefully, I get back in. You always want to play for your country. I’ve got 47 caps and I want that to be a lot more. I’ve just got to keep it up and see where it takes me.”
