WENGER: THEO WALCOTT STILL NEEDED AT ARSENAL

Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger insists that Theo Walcott is still needed at the club. A legend of the same club Ian Wright advised Walcott to exit in the winter window but the French manager disagrees. Wenger wants the 28-year old to remain at the Emirates despite playing just 48 minutes in the Premier League this term.

Wenger said clearly that he does not want Walcott to move on. He says the forward would get his time in the league. He blamed the situation on the rotation policy he is employing this term. He says Walcott’s low minutes in the league is because the club plays Thursdays and Sundays most time so he has lesser minutes in the league compared to other competitions.

Thomas Lemar Explains Decision to Reject £ 92 Million Move to Arsenal

Monaco winger Thomas Lemar says that he is extremely happy to remain at the French club after watching his £ 92 million move to Arsenal collapse on the transfer deadline day.


The French winger has been a target for Arsenal throughout the summer, but the gunners did not make a solid bid until the transfer deadline day. Barcelona and Liverpool had been showing plenty of interest in the player throughout the summer, but it was the latter who came in with official offer. Liverpool came up with an offer valued at around £ 65 million, but it was rejected by Monaco.

The French outfit have already sold several of their stars over the summer, and were not ready to lose Lemar. However, the £ 92 million offer from Arsenal proved enticing and it was accepted by Monaco. This was seen as a key move as it would have meant Alexis Sanchez moving to a Manchester City in at £ 60 million deal. However, Thomas Lemar decided to turn down the opportunity to sign for the gunners at the last moment. Continue reading Thomas Lemar Explains Decision to Reject £ 92 Million Move to Arsenal

Arsenal star Jack Wilshere is back in training at the north London club but he would join West Ham soon, according to reports.


The player got injured late last season but the 25-year old is expected to return to fitness soon enough for the move.

He was expected to grow into a star central midfielder or one that would feature behind strikers. After a short stint on loan to Bolton Wanderers, Arsene Wenger brought the player back to the Emirates.

Wilshere since returning has been injured almost on a regular basis. He was injured in the 2011/12 season. The ankle injury ensured he returned late 2012.
