Wenger keen to retain Juventus target Walcott at Arsenal

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists he is keen to keep Theo Walcott at the club.

The 22-year old winger is under contract until summer 2013 but is reported to be after a noteworthy raise for his next deal.

When asked about Walcott's situation, Wenger says he is happy to have the speedy attacker at the club and is sure he will ward off overtures from Italian giants Juventus who are again believed to be interested.

"We want to keep Theo and he knows that. Of course he works every day and works very hard," he said.

"His attitude is great, I have no problems with that at all."
