Theo Walcott set for Arsenal contract talks

England international Theo Walcott will reportedly hold further talks with Arsenal regarding a contract extension next week.

The talented forward scored his third Arsenal hat-trick at his side beat West Bromwich Albion by a 4-1 scoreline on the final day of the season at the Emirates.

The Mirror now cites that the 26-year-old is keen on extending his stay at the North London giants beyond his existing deal which expires in June 2016.

It is added that Walcott will expect assurances of regular playing time at the club before he signs a new contract.

Walcott has made over 300 appearances in an Arsenal shirt.
