Arsene Wenger: 'I want Theo Walcott to stay at Arsenal'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that he is keen to retain the services of Theo Walcott, amid strong rumoured interest from former club Southampton.

The Saints are said to be preparing a January bid for the England international, who is understood to be willing to take a pay cut in order to gain playing time elsewhere ahead of this summer's World Cup. Despite using Walcott for just a combined 50 minutes in the Premier League this season, though, with all five of his appearances coming from the bench, Wenger does not want to lose the versatile attacker. "I want him to stay," he told reporters. "I heard about [the Southampton rumours], but personally I want him to stay."
