Liverpool ready to pounce on Walcott!

Liverpool are ready to pounce on Arsenal and England winger Theo Walcott, though they face tough competition from Arsenal's London rivals Chelsea.

The winger has a year left on his contract with Arsenal and could follow star striker Robin Van Persie out the exit door at the Emirates if the club refuse to raise his wages to £100 000 a week.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is apparently pondering a bid for the pacy winger and could use the money from a possible sale of Andy Carroll to pay for the deal.
Carroll may find opportunities hard to come by because of the way Brendan Rodgers sets out his teams, plus he has already got Luiz Suarez and he's just completed the signing of Fabio Borini, who has played under Rodgers at Swansea City.

Rodgers has also failed to give any assurances about Carroll's prospects at the club when asked last week. Personally I doubt that Carroll's physical and powerful approach would fit in with intricate passing style which Rodgers favors and which has also worked for Rodgers last season at Swansea City.

Though, it looks unlikely that Liverpool would allow him to leave Anfield unless they receive a suitable bid for the striker or or loan deal with a commitment to make the deal permanent after 12 months.

Personally I feel Walcott would be good addition at Anfield as they lack any real pace, besides Stewart Downing, and Walcott is also accustomed to Rodgers intricate passing style.
The Arsenal and England winger has also attracted some interest from big spending Paris Sait-Germain as well as Chelsea.
