Southampton veteran Theo Walcott quizzed about retirement

Southampton veteran Theo Walcott says all options are open for him at the end of the season.

Walcott has joked that Southampton's relegation fight might force him into retirement.

When asked when he could hang up his boots, he said: "June and beyond? Goodness me, I might retire, who knows? This might retire me.

"We'll see, I don't know and I honestly have no idea. I'm very relaxed about what happens next beyond this season, I could be on your side of the fence talking to the players – who knows?

"I haven't thought too far ahead, my main challenge is to keep this team up, help the players, help them learn some things from me and then I'll make my decision."
