Wenger: Theo Walcott will have a great future at Arsenal

Theo Walcott has yet to sign a new contract but Arsene Wenger has insisted that the England international has a bright future at Arsenal.

The 25-year-old has just over a year left on his current contract and has been linked with a summer move to Liverpool.

Walcott reportedly has put contract talks on hold until the end of the season, but Wenger has played down suggestions that the former Southampton winger would be leaving the club.

“I believe he will have a great future and I want him to stay here,” he told reporters ahead of the FA Cup semifinal with Reading.
