Monaco are considering a massive £34 million move for Theo Walcott.
Reports claim the French fat cats want to add the England winger to their star-studded squad which include the likes of Joao Moutinho, Radamel Falcao and are willing to exceed over the £30 million mark to do so.
However, Arsene Wenger is unlikely to let Walcott, who at the start of the year signed a new long-term deal to remain at the Emirates albeit interest from several clubs before hand, leave and also believes the 24-year-old is happy at Arsenal.
Walcott had a productive season for the Gunners last term, contributing 21 goals and 14 assists in 43 appearances, but has he has yet to net a Premier League goal thus far.
Walcott has not featured for Wenger’s side since Arsenal’s 2-1 away win in the Champions League against Marseille after suffering an abdominal strain, but is expected to be back for the game at Old Trafford next week.
Despite signing a new deal at Arsenal in January, should, if Monaco table a £34 million offer for Walcott, the club consider it?
Walcott’s consistency has been a real problem for us in the past few seasons, and his decision making has caused us all to hurl abuse at him in the past. But he looks to be finally finding his groove and, dare I say it, becoming a big player for our current system this season.
However, £34 million is a hell of a lot of money and Wenger would be foolish not to consider taking it.
£34 million for Walcott – would you accept it?
Let us know what you think below
Theo is a very important part of our present squad and its only foolish for anyone to contemplate the thought of him leaving.
Someone took his time and energy to write an article,and all u could do is haul insults at him? He asked for ur thoughts,but u all jumped on him,calling him names. Maturity is key. A goal and an assist in 7 games or so is not good enough. Wouldn’t u rather activate the buyout clause of Marco Reus with d £34 million pounds? Ask urself who d better player is between Reus and Walcott. Last season Reus had 19 goals and 20 assists,while Walcott had 21 goals and 14 assists. But how many of those goals did he score in key matches? It’s because he’s English that Arsenal won’t sell him. English media and English people will jump on the board and Arsene Wenger when it’s obvious that buying Reus with that money would represent a better piece of business
