Theo Walcott has been surrounded by a lot of rumors lately, even though he makes a lot of efforts to deny them. The English wing has been linked to Liverpool and a number of other clubs, as he continues to reject the contract that the Gunners offer him. Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Arsenal is trying to resign Walcott. However, he hasn’t been exactly satisfied by the financial conditions that the club is offering him.
The statements that Walcott made on Twitter are the following:
“I don’t normally comment on false stories about myself, but reports about contract demands & bust-ups with the boss are complete nonsense…” – the wing wrote on his profile – “There have been no contract talks as yet and my current focus is not on contracts but on doing my best for Arsenal FC.”
The fact that the player and the team are stating two absolutely different things isn’t exactly a good thing. That is why Arsenal is preparing to see Walcott leave them during the suffer transfer window. He will be a free-agent in 2016, so it’s very likely that the Gunners will deal him this summer if the both sides can’t agree on a new deal.
As this is very likely to happen, Arsenal has been thinking about a replacement of his. His name is Marco Reus.
Even though it seems high unlikely that Marco Reus will leave Borussia Dortmund, it’s not entirely impossible. If the German international decides to leave the Bundesliga and head to Arsenal, he will definitely be an upgrade over Walcott. Both wings are extremely fast, but Reus is the one that possesses more skills.
It’s a bit hard to imagine that Marco Reus will leave Dortmund in order to join Arsenal. There will be a number of other clubs that will try and lure him, so it will be extremely difficult for the Gunners to make a deal with him. However, if they do, their fans will easily forget about the departure of Theo Walcott.
