Arsenal willing to make Walcott among highest paid

Arsenal are willing to make Theo Walcott among the club's highest paid.

The Mirror says Walcott is set to become one of Arsenal's super-earners after opening talks over a new contract.

He has already begun negotiations that will put him in the Gunners' top pay tier with Mesut Ozil (£140,000-per-week) and Alexis Sanchez (£130,000).

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger yesterday confirmed that talks are under way as Walcott's current £90,000-a-week deal expires in summer 2016.

The contract talks with Walcott follow a wave of new deals for Arsenal players, including Olivier Giroud, Mikel Arteta and Laurent Koscielny.
