Theo Walcott: Wenger thinks winger will stay at Arsenal
Arsene Wenger is confident Theo Walcott will remain at Arsenal, insisting the winger is not motivated by money.
Wenger on Walcott“He is not obsessed by money. I think Theo loves the club”
The England player, 23, indicated he could leave by rejecting a five-year deal worth £75,000 a week.
But Wenger believes there will be a resolution and Walcott, with one-year left on his contract, will stay.
"He is not obsessed by money," said the Gunners boss. "There is just a little difference. We want to extend his contract. I think Theo loves the club."
Further talks are planned in the weeks ahead, with both parties having made a commitment to work towards a resolution.
Walcott, who played for England in Euro 2012, joined Arsenal from Southampton for £12.5m as a 16-year-old in 2006.
He has scored 42 goals in 222 appearances and won 28 England caps during his time at the club.

I still can't get over the selling of Song. There was absolutely no reason to sell a solid defensive player that led the team in assist.

@895 - you talking abt ambition on an AFC debate.... get a life... Arsenal board have as much ambition as Ben Johnson has to run 100m in under 10secs legitimately. Sad thing is the fans actually have this same lack of ambition.
Wenger better illusionist that Dynamo and Blaine put together....
