Arsenal set to offer Theo Walcott improved contract and hope to tie up deal ... - Telegraph.co.uk
With the player minded to stay and Wenger finally willing to compromise on a wage offer that takes Walcott closer to the highest earners at the Emirates, such as Andrei Arshavin, who is on around £90,000-a-week, a deal looks increasingly likely. It is not expected to be signed this week, but Arsenal are hopeful of securing his signature before the end of the month.

Chelsea v FC Nordsjaelland: Fernando Torres is back – how did that happen? - Telegraph.co.uk
Finishing
On target twice, but the best goal of the forward's night was a lob that was ruled out for offside. Needed a healthy slice of luck for his first goal, but the second showed pleasing movement – the attribute at which Torres is still absolutely fantastic, according to every television commentator in gainful employment. Missed a couple of one-on-ones, as is his current style.

His plan is to build around a British core, notably Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey and Kieran Gibbs, but also use the club's greater financial strength to have a better chance of competing for the world's elite players. The willingness to spend £8.3 million last week on Nacho Monreal, a Spain international left-back, did indicate that Wenger now only wants to supplement the existing core with players of established quality.
