Walcott set for Arsenal exit

Theo Walcott is set to leave Arsenal after the news that captain Robin van Persie won’t be extending his current deal at the Emirates Stadium.

The Dutchman confirmed his intention to see out his contract, which is set to expire in 12 months time.

That has seen interest in the 28-year-old increase, with the likes of Manchester City and Juventus both linked with van Persie.

Walcott is also entering the final year of his contract and is prepared to depart the Gunners, should they sell the talismanic front-man.

The 23-year-old England international is believed to be devastated by the news van Persie won’t be extending his Arsenal deal.

Funny how the mickey mouse press and website now have their own way about Van P£r$i£ leaving, they now have to start on a new Arsenal player, hence the Walcott stories now appearing everywhere!!!

Pathetic!!

Who cares, Walcott is over rated anyway, can't cross, can't tackle, can barely shoot, he's like the forest gump of football, run theo run (but less inteligent)!

Im an Arsenal season ticket holder and i would love Arsenal to sell walcott. He has no football intelligence and cannot play keep football ship him out and sign proper footballers ie. Iker Muniain and Jovetic.

If true (and this would be a first from th Sun) put the guy on the transfer list asap. Then use the fee to bring in someone who will be consistent, loyal and reliable.
