ESPN state Theo Walcott is not seeking an exit from the Emirates Stadium, despite reports linking Arsenal to the signature of 24-goal striker Jamie Vardy and potentially further attacking additions.

Laurent Koscielny rates Arsenal target Jamie Vardy highly and says he has a natural ability to score goals.
The BBC claim that Vardy has made it clear he will wait until after the European Championships before making a decision over his future as he wants to concentrate on representing England over the coming weeks.
West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan confirmed five bids are in for new players as the club aims for signings with “good value” in a “potty” market. I don’t get the transfer, I really don’t get it. He is ideal for them.
“In front of goal, he doesn’t think – he feels the situation and he shoots as soon as he can”. For what he does, he is different class. But you watch him for England the other night [against Portugal] and if you have got 10 players behind the ball. They take too long to get the ball forward.
With Champions League football guaranteed at both Arsenal and Leicester, Vardy will face a decision based on his playing time as well as the financial package offered. After signing with the Foxes for a non-league record of £1 million, Vardy went from strength to strength and this past season has established him as one of the biggest heroes in Leicester history.
That informal deadline came and went and with England now sharpening their preparations ahead of their opening match against Russian Federation on June 11, Vardy is showing total focus on the task at hand. “I mean, Ricardo Carvalho looked like Franz Beckenbauer”.
He signed an improved three-and-a-half-year contract in February – albeit with that release clause written into the deal – and is seen as such a key part of their plans.

The 30-year-old also launched a defence of manager Arsene Wenger, who was the subject of fan protests during the last campaign.
