Juventus to launch new assault on Walcott

Daily Mail suggests that Juventus are planning a fresh assault on Arsenal forward Theo Walcott.

With less than a year left on his deal at the Emirates, Walcott could be the next high-profile player to leave the Gunners, after Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri, Robin van Persie and Alex Song all left the club for greener pastures.

Daily Mail reports that Juventus aim to take advantage of the situation and sign the winger at a cut-back price in January.

The Bianconeri got rid of most wingers in the squad when coach Alessandro Conte decided to switch to 3-5-2 formation, but they seem to have changed their minds since and are really keen on adding the England international to their ranks.

Theo Walcott has rejected a contract extension at the Emirates after falling behind Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the pecking order and he is seriously considering his future at the moment.

The 23-year-old started the first game of the season against Stoke, but was left on the bench in the next two league fixtures and it appears that he is no longer a first choice right winger at the Emirates.

    To be honest I think Walcott is overrated and is not a great winger. So many times last season he lost the ball or didn’t know what to do in the final 3rd. He has great pace and is a decent finisher so perhaps he should play up front like Henry did. If he isn’t moved into that position we should let him go- we have far better wingers in our squad (Cazorla,Ox,Gnarby,Podolski, and potentially Gervinho).
