According to reports from The Express, West Ham are preparing a £41million transfer double swoop for Arsenal stars Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott.
Walcott and Ox-Cham have both been criticised for failing to hit the heights expected at the Emirates since arriving from Southampton as teenagers in 2006 and 2010 respectively, casting serious doubts over their futures in north London.

Recent reports have claimed Arsenal are already preparing to offload Oxlade-Chamberlain during the coming transfer window and West Ham have been mooted as potential suitors in a £15million deal.
But according to The Express, who cite reports from the Brentwood Gazette, the East London outfit are also considering a swoop for Walcott, who has netted just four times in 22 Premier League appearances so far this season.
It’s speculated the double deal could set Slaven Bilic’s side back as much as £41million, with Walcott reportedly valued by the Gunners at around £26million.
West Ham are currently just two positions and three points behind 3rd-placed Arsenal in the Premier League table and are keen to sign stellar names during the summer transfer window ahead of their move to the Olympic Stadium.
