Striker in contract dispute with Arsenal again

He nearly left the club before agreeing on a £90, 000 per week three-year-deal.

Now nearing the final of that contract, the England international according to reports, is in another contract dispute with the club.

According to reports from the British media, Theo Walcott wants a significant pay rise if he is to sign a new Arsenal contract.

Walcott who was undefined, is reportedly asking for a over £100,000-per-week before agreeing to an extension.

It remains to be seen whether the Gunners will meet the demands but the club seems to have the upper hand now unlike the last negotiation.

The club had just sold Robin Van Persie and was desperately holding on to Theo Walcott.

Now the club has since attracted other high profile players- Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez- and since he returned from injury, Theo Walcott has found himself struggling for regular football, with the likes of Olivier Giroud, Danny Welbeck, Sanchez, Santi Cazorla, Oziland Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all vying for a slot in Wenger’s four attacking positions.

Arsenal top-earners Sanchez and Ozil earn in the region of £140,000-per-week.

Liverpool and Manchester City are set to be monitoring Walcott’s situation closely ahead of a potential summer move.
