Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has urged the club to sort out Theo Walcott's contract within the next two months.

Should an agreement not be reached by January, Walcott would be free to open negotiations with overseas clubs to potentially sign a lucrative pre-contract agreement on a Bosman transfer. Asked if Arsenal would have to sell Walcott if no deal was signed by the start of 2013, Wenger said: I would not like to. "I have not even thought about that, because at the moment I think we will still manage to make a deal with him."
