Liverpool target Walcott eager for Arsenal stay

Theo Walcott wants to remain with Arsenal for at least another season, according to reports.

The Daily Telegraph is of the belief that the 27-year-old forward is eager to stay put at the Emirates Stadium despite serious interest from Liverpool.

Walcott struggled for regular starting time under Arsene Wenger last season and was believed to be prepared to leave North London in a bid to gain regular game time.

But it is understood that despite being told by Wenger he will only compete for a spot as a right winger, Walcott is keen to remain with the Gunners for another season at the least.

Walcott, who is contracted until the summer of 2019, made 42 appearances in all competitions in 2015/16 with 21 of those being starts.
