Chelsea have become the latest Premier League side to be linked with
Arsenal contract rebel Theo Walcott.
The England international's future at
the North London club is uncertain as he has struggled for minutes on the pitch
since returning from knee injury and has stalled on signing new deal at the
Emirates.
The 26-year-old was recently forced
to deny reports that he had fallen out with manager Arsene Wenger regarding
contract talks.
Walcott addressed the speculation by
tweeting: "I don't normally comment on false stories about myself but
reports about contract demands and bust-ups with the boss are complete
nonsense.
"There have been no contract
talks as yet and my current focus is not on contracts but on doing my best for
Arsenal."
Walcott will have one year left on
his current deal at the end of the season and the Blues are keen to lure him to
Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea want to increase their number
of home-grown players after losing Ashley Cole, and Frank Lampard and the
jet-heeled attacker is on their hit-list.
Liverpool and Manchester United are
also thought to be monitoring Walcott’s situation.
