The Gunners have now
confirmed that the 23-year-old has agreed an xtension to his current deal which was set to expire this summer. Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has signed a new long-term
contract, the club have
confirmed. Goal.com understands Walcott has signed a new three-and-a-
half-year deal with the option of a 12-month extension. Under the new agreement that runs at least until the summer
of 2016, the England international's salary will climb to around £90,000 a week, which will be bolstered by top - up bonuses and a multi-million pound signing-on fee.
Last week, Goal.com exclusively revealed Walcott had held a final round of talks with boss
Arsene Wenger and chief
executive Ivan Gazidis at the club's London Colney
training base, during which the
framework of the deal was
agreed.
Now it appears the 23-year-old
has put pen to paper on a deal which will see his wages rise
by at least £30,000-a-week,
putting him on par with
Arsenal's top earners.
Speaking to the club's official
website, Wenger said: "We are all delighted that Theo has
signed a new contract.
"He joined us as a 16-year-old
and since then has developed
very well to become an
extremely important player for both Arsenal Football Club and
England. "Theo is a strong player and
also a great person, and the
combination of his ability and
pace always make him such a
valuable asset either from the
flanks or down the middle. "Theo's contract extension now
gives us a strong nucleus of
ambitious young players who
have committed to the club and
want to be successful with us
as a group." Walcott himself added: "I am
very happy to have signed a
new contract here at Arsenal.
"Thanks to everyone for their
continued support, especially
the manager, everyone at the club and most importantly the
fans.
"I have made it clear from the
start that I wanted to stay at
Arsenal so I am pleased we
have agreed a deal that everyone is happy with. What’s
important now is for the team
to realise its potential and win
trophies."
Walcott has publicly indicated
his desire to remain with the Gunners on numerous
occasions, where he is popular
with fans, staff and his team-
mates.
