PSG and Chelsea are ready to test Arsenal’s resolve over Theo Walcott by making official bids for the 23-year-old, according to the Daily Mirror.

The England international only has one year left to run on his existing contract at The Emirates and is yet to pen a new deal, leaving many Arsenal fans (not me in particular) worried about losing the services of the former Southampton forward.

Walcott currently earns around £65,000-a-week and wants an improved deal to stay at Arsenal. However, it is believed that the club are considering the possibility of selling the Englishman this summer and may listen to offers of around £15 million rather than losing him on a potential free, should he of course not extend his stay.

Last season Walcott managed to bag eight goals and 11 assists for the Gunners, but still has his critics.

To be honest, I wouldn’t shed a tear if Walcott was sold to either Chelsea or PSG, but the latter would make more sense.

He’s been at the club for nearly seven years and hasn’t really stepped up to the plate, and at 23, he should be a world-beater by now, but he isn’t.

If a club, whoever it may be, table a £15 million bid for Walcott this summer then I would certainly consider it. Besides, we have Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ready to step in!

    Les stop al this talk about inconsistency on Walcotts part. The whole damn team is inconsisten. They allowed a ridiculous amount of goals last year. Walcott provide probably a third of Van Persie’s goals last year. I say sign him and keep him. Competition makes you better, and he will compete. Ox is not ready, Geervinho can’t find the net, that said it should be intereseting this coming season. I hope they get coached better on defense because what they do is ludicrous. Vermaelen gets caought out consistently but yo all love him. Leave Theo alone

    technically walcot is very deficient that said, we cant take it away from him that he’s given us the highest number of assist per season since after the departure of fabregas.Given him an improved contract is out of it, but i would want his contract to be extended.Arsene Wenger knows better n if he must be sold it should be outside england imo.

    Don’t think Walcott will go, but if he does, we need to and should have lined up signings to replace him. Adrian is a Winger/Forward… similar type to Walcott.
