Theo Walcott - Spotlight On

Arsenal are plotting a move for wantaway Chelsea striker Dominic Solanke, according to reports. 

The 18-year-old is currently on loan at Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem and has one year remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge.

It is understood the 27-year-old, who has suffered a dip in form this season, doubts whether he will be included in Roy Hodgson's England squad for Euro 2016.

And he could look for a move away to boost his future chances at international level, with Arsene Wenger hinting this could be Walcott's last season at the Emirates.

City will face competition for Walcott's signature with West Ham and AC Milan also showing an interest. 

Newcastle are reportedly eyeing up a shock move for Arsenal left-back Kieran Gibbs. 

The 26-year-old has spent his entire career with the Gunners, but has fallen behind Nacho Monreal in the pecking order.
