Gunners braced for Walcott exit

Arsenal are bracing themselves to lose yet another big-name player after failing to convince Theo Walcott to sign a new contract.

Press Association Sport understands Walcott has turned down a deal worth around £4million a year and could be sold before the transfer window closes on Friday.

Walcott reportedly wants to continue negotiations over what is said to be a £75,000-a-week, five-year contract tabled to replace the one that expires next summer.
