Juve closely monitoring Walcott

Juventus are closely monitoring Theo Walcott's contract situation at Arsenal, reports have suggested in the English Press.

TalkSport have indicated that the Bianconeri are following the 23-year-old's hesitation to sign a new deal at the north London club, and could move to sign the winger for free when his contract runs out in June 2013.

The former Southampton man has wavered on putting pen-to-paper on a new deal, which has led to speculation that could move for nothing next summer.

If Antonio Conte's side are to capture the England international, then they may have to fight off Chelsea and Liverpool.
