Walcott’s Contract Talks Continue by AH
Theo Walcott’s current contract runs out at the end of the season, which would allow him to leave on a Bosman transfer. Both the club and Walcott himself are keen on reaching an agreement as quickly as possible, so he can continue to concentrate on his football, and know where his future lies.
One thing is for sure is that he does seem keen to stay and he is happy at Arsenal. His comments on the club, Alex Oxlade – Chamberlain and next seasons chances, suggest that he wants to stay at The Emirates.
Contract talks resumed during the Asia tour as Walcott’s representatives held meetings with the club, as both parties saw the tour as a perfect opptunity to talk, whilst they were away from rival clubs and English media. Informal discussions have been taking place over the past few months and the club is now expected to make a formal contract offer and tie up his future before the season starts on August 18th.
Walcott said recently; “The club and my agent are talking but it is a slow process and my last contract took six months to agree – but it will come.”
Walcott opted to wait until the summer to decide on his future, with the club happy to postpone contract talks that were scheduled to happen last autumn. There’s been a lack of interest so far in the transfer window , for the England international with only Liverpool and Chelsea have registering an interest in the player.
The high level of competition for places at Chelsea is likely to block any move for the forward to move across London, while a Liverpool move would represent a step down from Arsenal. However Liverpool is the club he supported as a boy and so it would be hard to turn away any decision immediately.
