The Englishman who joined Arsenal from Southampton currently has 4 years left on his books but the club is looking to increase that in order to keep other clubs off him and also reward him with a pay rise.
The Gunners do not want a repeat of what happened as in the case of Judas (Van Persie), Le Cunt (Nasri), and the rest.
Kierran Gibbs and Bacary Sagna would also be offered new contracts in the near future.
In Theo Walcott's case, no agreement had been reached at the moment as Arsenal's attempt to hold him at the club are proving abortive.
