Report: Juventus prepare Theo Walcott move

Italian champions Juventus are reportedly prepared to offer Arsenal attacker Theo Walcott a £90,000-a-week contract in January.

The 23-year-old has yet to sign a new deal with the Gunners and with his contract expiring at the end of the season, the England international is free to discuss terms with other clubs next month.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has made no secret of his desire to keep Walcott, but the London club are not prepared to offer the wages he requires.

However, Juventus, who are emerging as one the heavyweights in European football once more, will offer the former Southampton player the deal next month, according to talkSPORT.

It is understood that Walcott could be available for as little as £8m next month.
