The Gunners winger will be entering the final 18 months of his contract in the New Year, and Emirates chiefs are desperate to avoid a repeat of this summer’s situation where they were held to random by Samir Nasri, who was eventually sold to Manchester City.

But Walcott has recently signalled his intent to renew his current deal with Arsenal, which would appear to spell the end of any reported move to Serie A or anywhere else.

‘I will listen to what Arsenal have to say,’ said the England man.

‘Hopefully we will sit down with the club soon and talk things over.’

Walcott also insists spirit is high in the Gunners camp, and that Arsene Wenger’s men have finally laid to rest their nightmare start to the season.

‘The team morale at Arsenal is great - the best it's ever been,’ he added.

‘To be honest, we have forgotten about the first few games. There is no point in dwelling on it.

‘All we can do now is look at what is coming up. And it is looking very positive at the moment. Everyone needs to be alive at what is going on during the game.’
