Walcott, Cazorla extend Arsenal contracts
London: Arsenal forward Theo Walcott on Friday signed a new four-year contract with the English football club worth 140,000-pound a week.
Spanish midfielder 30-year-old Santi Cazorla has also extended his deal for two more years.
“Both are top quality players who are hugely important and influential to our squad,” manager Arsene Wenger was quoted as saying by bbc.co.uk.
“As well as their huge contributions on the pitch, they both have a great deal of experience and are very popular off the pitch,” Wenger said.
English international Walcott so far has netted 50 goals from 208 league appearances since signing from Southampton in 2006.
Walcott had been linked with a move away from the club with Chelsea and Liverpool willing to give him a central striking role. But he was impressive last season for the Gunners, scoring a hat-trick and then netting the first goal of their FA Cup’s 4-0 triumph in the final against Aston Villa.
His form has strengthened his position in the outfit. Walcott is also the longest-serving player in Arsenal’s squad.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
