The Liverpool man recently admitted he was flattered by Arsenal's interest and claimed to have turned down a £100,000-a-week deal earlier this season.

And Walcott is also at the centre of a contract dispute at the Emirates.

Brendan Rodgers is a known admirer of Walcott and tried to sign him last season.

Raheem Sterling could join Arsenal in a swap deal for Theo Walcott

Walcott is one of Arsenal's top earners but Arsene Wenger seems unwilling to improve his £100,000-a-week deal.

Reports this week have also linked Jack Wilshere with a move to Manchester City, however Wenger insists his best players will stay put.

"We are not in a position anymore where we have to sell our best players," Wenger said.

"When we had the period of restricted finances we had to sell the players when they started to perform - from 18-23.

"You pay for experience. A player becomes a player at 23 or 24. But if you have to sell them at that age then you just feel you work for the other clubs."
