High five! Young Gunns to sign new deals, but where’s Theo?

WE'RE GUNNER STAY ... Jenkinson, Wilshere, Gibbs, Ramsey and Oxlade-Chamberlain
ARSENAL are set to announce that five of their young stars have signed new contracts.
But Theo Walcott is not among them... yet.
Midfield ace Jack Wilshere leads the way, having agreed an £80,000-a-week, five-year deal, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kieran Gibbs, Aaron Ramsey and Carl Jenkinson have also accepted terms.
Manager Arsene Wenger hopes the statement of intent by the quintet, particularly 20-year-old Wilshere’s decision to pledge his future to the club, will convince contract rebel Walcott that his future lies at the Emirates.
Walcott, 23, got his wish to play through the middle in Monday’s 5-2 win at Reading, where he scored the last goal.
He wants Wenger to give him a regular run as the main striker.
But, equally, he believes he is worth more than the £75,000 a week currently on the table.
