Theo Walcott has offered himself to Serie A club AC Milan in a bid to resurrect his stalling career away from Arsenal, according to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

The 28-year-old has fallen down the pecking order under Arsene Wenger and has yet to start a single game in the Premier League this season.

Southampton, Everton and West Ham are interested in signing Walcott this month, but the report from Italy claims he would prefer a move away from England.

As per the newspaper, Milan may look to agree a six-month loan deal with Gunners with the option to make it permanent for a set price at the end of the campaign.

However, a potential move could be hampered by the fact that Walcott will be unable to participate in Milan's Europa League campaign having already featured for Arsenal this season.

In fact, the bulk of his first-team involvement has come in the Europe's second-tier competition, starting five of Arsenal's six group games and returning three goals and two assists.

He has also started all three of Arsenal's Carabao Cup games, scoring once, and will likely continue to play a prominent role in both competitions when they resume later this season.

Wenger has used Arsenal's involvement in the two trophies to give reserve and youth players much-needed game time and the Frenchman would be reluctant to lose such an experienced player as they go in search of silverware.

Indeed, Walcott has regularly worn the armband in both the Europa League and Carabao Cup this season, leading them to the knockout stages in the former and the semi-finals in the latter.
