​Walcott says Southampton return 'feels like a film'

Southampton loan star Theo Walcott admits it is like a movie to be back at the club.

Walcott, who is on loan from Everton, was a youth player at the Saints before moving to Arsenal as a teenager.

He is now back at the club after 14 years away, and he cannot believe it sometimes.

Discussing his return on talkSPORT, the forward said: "It's only been three games and I'm just enjoying the moment and being at the club – it's changed massively.

"Something just feels right about being at Southampton at the moment. Every time I look at the badge, it means so much more to me for whatever reason.

"Coming from the ranks at a young age, not being able to play in the Premier League with them and always wanting to. Having that chance to now – it's come round full circle, a bit like a film I suppose.

"I am dead excited to get going again. Our game has been moved to the Monday but I am just eager to play games."
