Arsenal have reportedly informed Theo Walcott that they will not begin contract negotiations with the winger until after the European Championships.
The 23-year-old, who is due to fly out to Poland and Ukraine with England next month for the Euros, has had a question mark put over his future with the Gunners in recent months.
It is believed Walcott was keen to discuss a potential new deal before the European tournament. However, the North London club have decided to postpone any meetings, according to The Express.
The former Southampton star, who has just one year left on his current deal at the Emirates, is believed to be on Chelsea's radar.
