The Gunners ace’s current deal expires in 2016 and Arsene Wenger previously told reporters that discussions were already underway, as the club look to sign the player down to a new deal.

However, Walcott denied that was the case- and at the same time also denied reports of a bust-up between him and his French manager. He said:

“I don’t normally comment on false stories about myself but reports about contract demands & bust-ups with the boss are complete nonsense…

“There have been no contract talks as yet and my current focus is not on contracts but on doing my best for Arsenal FC.”

Walcott has made 13 appearances this season after coming back from a long-term absence, following a cruciate ligament injury sustained in a NorthLondon derby last January.
