<edited> It was moved to the rumor mill already
He has already sounded out thoughts of leaving. he has 1 year left on his contract and has not signed a new one. if he refuses even more, the club will be forced to offload him in this window to salvage some value left on his contract. No one will buy a player in the January window if they know 6 months later they can get them on a free.
Also for those who doubt his ability - let's look at the stats.
Only 4 players (Nani, Silva, A Young & van Persie) have assisted more PL goals than Theo Walcott in the past two seasons, Walcott is on 15.
