Arsenal are ready to send teenager Theo Walcott to West Brom to seal a deal for defender Curtis Davies.

The Mirror says Walcott, who failed to get on the pitch after being named as a shock inclusion in the England World Cup squad, faces a battle for playing time with the Gunners.
And as the north Londoners step up their attempts to land Davies, seen as Sol Campbell's long-term successor, the 17-year-old wonderkid could come into the equation.
The possibility of the rocket-heeled youngster spending time on loan at West Brom has been discussed by both clubs.
An offer of £8m, plus Walcott on loan until the turn of the year could be a solution that would suit both parties.
