Arsenal wants to sell Walcott in January


Arsenal plans to sell Theo Walcott in January unless it can cement Arsene Wenger's first team.

The 28-year-old has not started a Premier League game this season and he has been told the club is looking to sell it in the next transfer window, according to The Gambling Times.

The England international has 18 months in the contract and is one of the club's biggest winners at about £ 110,000 per week.

The Gunner's chief "is not convinced he has a long-term future at the club" and has already had an interest in Everton, West Ham United, Crystal Palace and his former club Southampton.

Walcott himself is considering his options with the World Cup next summer.  Walcott, with just 46 minutes of Premier League football to his name this season will have recognised he may have to move on to get back into Gareth Southgate’s plans.

He scored two goals against BATE Borisov last week to get in contention, but Wenger had him on the bench again in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Brighton. He received only 19 minutes of action, replacing Alex Iwobi for work done in the Emirates.

Walcott is understood as hopeful, he can force his way into the dispute, but he is also open to the idea that he will need to move to start the career.
