Italian outfit join in the Walcott chase

The problem with entering the 'race for Theo Walcott' is that Theo Walcott is rather fast and so you're probably unlikely to catch him.

Thankfully, 'entering the race for Theo Walcott' is only a metaphor for trying to sign the eternally youthful winger and that is exactly what Inter Milan are trying to do according to the Daily Star today.

Walcott has only a year left on his contract at Arsenal prompting speculation about his future, further heightened by the arrival of Santi Carzorla at the Emirates.
