Arsenal suffered one of the most humiliating defeats in their history as League Two club Bradford beat the Gunners 3-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the League Cup quarter-finals. Bad news doesn’t end here for the Arsenal fans. League leaders Manchester United are about to make a sensational bid for Arsenal winger Theo Walcott, according to daily mail.
Nani and Walcott could switch clubs in January
Manchester United pulled off a electrifying transfer coup of last summer when they bought Robin van Persie from the Gunners for £24million. Now they want to do the same with Theo Walcott.
Manchester United are ready to match his £100,000 demand and also former gunners captain Van Persie has advised his boss to pounce for the player who is clearly frustrated with the performance of his team. Walcott recently denied a £75,000 per week contract offer from the Gunners and demanded regular berth in the starting line-up. With the problems Ferguson is facing himself, with the situation of Nani and an inconsistent Ashley Young, the Scottish manager could be tempted to make an offer for the England International.
This could well mean a swap deal involving both the wingers during the January transfer window.
