Metro have Liverpool fans looking up with a fair bit of disappointment here in the Football Transfer Tavern as they seem to think that Arsenal are set to tie Theo Walcott down to a long term deal.
As one of our punters notes over a beer and burger by the bar, Liverpool are not only concerned that they may see Raheem Sterling leave the club, but they are also panicking about their summer recruitment given it looks like finishing in the top four will be a real problem for them now.
Arsenal meanwhile want to keep their best players and try to move forward next season – and are even looking to offer Walcott £100,000 per week to convince him that his future lies at the Emirates Stadium – and we think that will do the job.
