Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has asked the club's fans to be patient about his future.

The 23-year-old, whose current contract with the Gunners runs out at the end of the season, insists that he enjoys playing for Arsene Wenger's side.

"I am leaving it all to my agents and you will be the first to hear when something happens," he told Arsenal's official matchday programme for their Champions League clash with Montpellier.

"It's important for me that something gets sorted out, because I enjoy playing for this club. I don't think you can put a timeframe on when it will be resolved, though. When both parties are sure, it will happen when it happens.

"My last contract took six or seven months, so we have to be patient, myself as well. But I'm enjoying my football at the moment, so it's not affecting me at all on the pitch."

Arsenal's game against Montpellier is at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.
