Arsenal forward, Theo Walcott, refused to go into detail about his current contract situation at the club, but he has said that ‘something will happen soon’.

The English international was played in his preferred centre forward position last night during Arsenal’s 5-2 thrashing of Reading and the 23-year-old even bagged himself a goal right at the end.

He said: ‘Talks are ongoing and it’s going to be a slow process. It’s taking a long time but hopefully something will happen soon.’

As for people around him, team-mate, Jack Wilshere has urged Theo to stay at Arsenal.

Wilshere said: ‘I’ve been working all year on him, but that’s between Theo, his representatives and the boss but hopefully we can sign him up.

‘He showed he can do it up front and hopefully he can play there in the future.’


After the final whistle last night, manager, Arsene Wenger was also questioned on the current situation and he remained hopefully that Theo would extend his contract.

“It is not my decision – it is Theo’s decision as well. If it is my decision it is quickly done,” said Wenger.

“I believe he has been educated at Southampton and Arsenal and he has become a top player. I hope that when he considers his future he will consider Arsenal is the best place for him and sign for us.”

“I do not want to come out on details of Walcott’s contract but simply say our desire and will is clear and he knows that. Hopefully we can get to a happy ending.
