Theo Walcott has revealed that his agent is currently in discussions with Arsenal regarding a new contract.

The England winger's current deal is due to expire in 12 months, meaning that he would be able to receive offers from other clubs during the January transfer window.

However, the 23-year-old has decided to leave the situation in the hands of his representative.

"[Contract talks were] always going to be held back until after the Euros and they continue to talk. We'll see where it goes," Walcott told Sky Sports News.

"I didn't have a clue about [the speculation]. I'm just an honest guy and I like to get on with my job. I don't want distractions.

"Like I say my agent and the club will continue to talk and when there is something to know I will get involved."

Walcott joined the Gunners in 2006 from Southampton.
