Theo Walcott says he has not had a row with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger and revealed he has yet to open contract talks with the club. "Reports about contract demands and bust-ups with the boss are complete nonsense," said the 26-year-old.

"There have been no contract talks as yet and my current focus is on doing my best for Arsenal."

The England international's claim that talks have yet to begin contradicts that of Wenger, who stated that Arsenal had "started very early with him" about extending his stay at the club as Walcott "is very quick on the pitch, but off the pitch not always".
