Harry Redknapp offers his pearls of wisdom to Arsenal ace

Harry Redknapp has made a surprising plea to Theo Walcott through his column in The Sun, requesting the winger to stay put at Arsenal. Walcott’s contract situation at the Emirates has fuelled speculation about his future, with Man City and Liverpool prepared to make a dash for the Englishmanwho has only a year left on his deal. But Redknapp has urged the 23 year old to sign a new contract with the Gunners, claiming that he has the talent to fill the boots of Robin van Persie.

Redknapp, who gave Walcott his debut at Southampton back in 2005, wrote this in his column: “There is so much more to come from him. And nowhere will he get a better chance to fulfil that potential than where he is right now. He should sort out the little differences in his contract with the club and then sign it.”

The former Tottenham boss also felt that Walcott’s talents could be served better from a more central position, pointing to the fact that centre-backs are rarely comfortable in the face of seething pace-something the player has in abundance.

Arsenal are unlikely to match Walcott’s steep wage demands, but with Arsene Wenger keen to keep the player and Walcott himself said to be keen on staying at the Emirates, a compromise could be in the offing. And, if he does Redknapp is sure he can go on to bigger things as he added: “He can become a big, big fish at Arsenal. There are so many opportunities open to him now, especially with the departure of Robin van Persie. “

Full-back's departure was a blow but the Newcastle star's experience, defensive qualities, aerial ability and winning mentality mark him out as a worthy successor ANALYSIS By Liam Twomey In previous years, the departure of a club stalwart might have sparked talk of crisis at Arsenal . But Arsene Wenger has acted quickly in the wake of Bacary Sagna 's defection to Manchester City , with Newcastle right-back Mathieu Debuchy set to be unveiled as a Gunner before the end of the week in a deal worth an initial £8 million . Setback though it was, the protracted nature of Sagna's departure from the Emirates Stadium afforded Wenger ample time to plan for a future without him.
