...now Arsenal 'keen on  Victor Moses as Theo Walcott replacement'

Arsenal are reportedly ready to make a move for Wigan's Victor Moses, as uncertainty about Theo Walcott's future grows.

Walcott has just 12 months remaining on his contract at the Emirates Stadium and talks about an extension have stalled.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is apparently now ready to sell, as long as he can find the right replacement.

The man he wants is Wigan's Nigerian playmaker Moses.

The 21-year-old has been linked with Chelsea and Liverpool in recent weeks, after making it clear he has no intention of signing a new contract at the DW Stadium.

Latics chairman Dave Whelan has tried to deter interest from rival Premier League clubs by placing a £12million price tag on the former Crystal Palace trainee.

Chelsea appear unwilling to meet that valuation, but Arsenal could afford it if they are able to offload Walcott.

The Blues are among the clubs interested in Walcott, but any move for the 23-year-old will depend on how much they have to spend to land one of their striker targets.

Manchester City are also keen, but the player may decide to see out his contract and leave Arsenal on a free transfer next summer.
