Theo Walcott left Arsenal for Everton in a £20 million move during the week.
However, it has been revealed that he went back to pack his things in the team’s dressing room, packing them all in bin bags when he couldn’t get proper bags.
In an interview on Thursday, he said, “When I found that I was coming here (Everton), I had to go there at night just to pick up all my stuff in binbags.”
The 28-year-old, who spent 12 years with the Gunners, said he has not had time to say proper goodbyes at the club and would appreciate a chance to do so.
“I’ve spoken to the gaffer [Arsene Wenger] and I’m sure I’ll get some time to go back and catch up with people and do my proper goodbyes. That’s the right way to do it,” he added.
“We do also play them soon as well, which I’m looking forward to.
“I’ve always had so much time for the fans and they’ve been great to me, through all our ups and downs. I can’t thank them enough. It’s part of my family, Arsenal.”
