Walcott keen on new Arsenal deal

The 20-year-old’s current contract is set to expire in 2010 and Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is keen on keeping him the former Southampton prodigy at the club.

Walcott told the Daily Mail: “I’ll let my agents deal with the contract situation and just get on with playing.

“But I do look around and think what a great team this is. We’ve got a great squad and some great talents. Some of the things Robin (van Persie) and Eduardo do in training are just ridiculous.

“There are so many examples of players who have developed into great players under our manager, Thierry (Henry) for a start, and I want to be one of them.”
