Arsenal have failed to reach an agreement with Theo Walcott over a contract extension as his current deal expires in 2013. Walcott is willing to continue negotiations to stay, but reports claim Arsenal will sell him before the transfer deadline unless he signs a new five-year, £75,000 per week contract. Walcott's departure would be a blow after scoring 11 goals last season and assisting Robin van Persie, but he has been criticized for inconsistency at both the club and international level.
