Theo Walcott poised to sign new Arsenal deal

Arsenal are poised to offer a new long-term deal to star winger Theo Walcott amidst interest from a host of European clubs.

Recent reports revealed that the Gunners would be reluctant to offer the England international an improved wage structure, and this led to the speculation that he could seek a switch away from the Emirates this summer.

However, The Sun claims that the North London giants have opened up talks with the former Saints star, and will offer him the new deal on a weekly wage pay of £100,000 at the end of current campaign.

Walcott has scored 72 goals for Arsenal since his move from Southampton in 2006.
