Arsenal players are ignoring the intense speculation surrounding the future of manager Arsene Wenger, Theo Walcott has claimed.
The England international opened the scoring late in the first half
of the FA Cup quarter-final at home to Lincoln City on Saturday, his
goal triggering what ultimately proved to be a routine 5-0 win for the
Gunners.
Despite booking their place in the semi-finals of the competition,
the focus is likely to remain on the manager, who is out of contract at
the end of the season and has faced calls to quit after the humiliating
10-2 aggregate loss to Bayern Munich in the last 16 of Champions League.
Some Gunners fans marched with a banner reading 'Wexit' before the
match but, speaking to BT Sport,
Walcott insisted the squad are paying
little attention to the debate over the whether or not the long-serving
manager should stay on in north London next season.
