Report: Barcelona want Theo Walcott

Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing Arsenal forward Theo Walcott and could make an offer for the England international in the January transfer window.

The 26-year-old only signed a new long-term contract at the Emirates in the summer and has worked his way into the central striking role over the last couple of weeks.

It is still unclear whether the former Southampton attacker is first choice with Arsene Wenger, however, which has led to talk of unrest.

According to Bild, Barcelona will attempt to replace Pedro, who left for Chelsea in the summer, in January when their transfer ban comes to an end and Walcott is among the targets.

Celta Vigo attacker Nolito has also been linked with a move to the Camp Nou, but Walcott's experience in the Champions League is believed to be in Barcelona's thoughts.

Walcott's current deal at Arsenal does not expire until the summer of 2019.
