Arsene Wenger remains determined to keep Theo Walcott at Arsenal
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger reiterated his desire to keep Theo Walcott at the club following the England forward's hat-trick in the stunning 7-3 win over Newcastle at the Emirates Stadium.
Wenger once again insisted after the game that Walcott will not be leaving during the January transfer window and remains hopeful he will sign an extension to his contract, which expires at the end of the season."The club loves Theo, Theo loves the club and trust me reciprocal love is difficult to find," said Wenger.
"He was man of the match, but the intensity of my desire is the same as it would have been if he had had a disastrous game: I want him to extend his contract and I'm hopeful he will.
"Theo showed what he can do, but there was also a new determination about him and a desire to run into the box.
"I know he can only get stronger. He is an intelligent player and because of that intelligence, he will continue to improve."
Walcott has scored four goals and won one decisive penalty in the three games he has started up front - a position he has asked to play in - and he now has 14 goals for the season.
"I hope something will be sorted soon," he said. "I enjoy playing in whatever position but it was just telling the manager to give me the opportunities to play up front.
"I'm not saying I'm always going to play up front but it's just showing what I can do but hopefully I've opened a few eyes and it's just a different option. Hopefully, I can start to take it a bit more often now.
Sir alex says Nani will not leave Manchester United
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson insists Nani will not be sold during the January transfer window.
There have been suggestions that the Portuguese winger could be on his way out of Old Trafford after failing to command a regular starting place this season.Arsenal have been linked with the 26-year-old, who is currently sidelined with a hamstring problem, but Ferguson has dashed their hopes.
"We won't be letting him go. We need a Nani," said the Scot.
"He's got a future here. Why would I want to let him go?"

"His contract isn't up for a year and a half. He offers something different from the other players. He's an incredible talent, the boy.
"Unfortunately, he's injured at the moment. We have sent him over to Dubai for a break, to help him in his recovery.
"He's not far away but he's far enough away. I don't think I will get him until the middle of January.
"He's got a future here. Why would I want to let him go?"

MARIO BALOTELI FUTURE.
AC Milan have added to speculation they are preparing a January bid for Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli.
The former Inter Milan player's future is uncertain in England after starting just one of his club's last eight matches in all competitions, including only making a substitute appearance in Tuesday's defeat by Borussia Dortmund.
City boss Roberto Mancini has been a long-term fan of Balotelli but it appears his trust in the £24million summer 2010 signing is slipping after several negative headline-grabbing incidents.
And Milan could be ready to offer the Italy international a return to his homeland with a bid when the transfer window opens in less than a month.
Speaking before Milan's Champions League defeat by Zenit St Petersburg on Tuesday night, boss Massimiliano Allegri said of Balotelli: "He is an important player with extraordinary physical and technical qualities.
"I believe, however, given his qualities, he threw away a few years of his career."
Allegri has also hinted current Milan star Stephan El Shaarawy and Balotelli would make a lethal attacking combination for the club.
"I think they have done good things with the Italian national team," said Allegri. "But I want to talk about AC Milan and the players I have. Then, in January, we will see what happens."
Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has also suggested a move for Balotelli is not just a fantasy after giving a teasing response when asked about the 22-year-old.
Berlusconi told Sky Sport Italia when questioned if Balotelli is a dream: "No, it's not a dream. I never dream."
CHELSEA VS SUNDERLAND
Rafa Benitez continues his search for a first Premier League win as Chelsea manager as his side travel to Sunderland.
The Spaniard is looking to avoid writing his name into Chelsea's record books as the first manager not to taste victory in their first four Premier League games.
But hopes will be high that they have turned the corner following their 6-1 thrashing of FC Nordsjaelland in the UEFA Champions League.
Their poor run of form in the past month has seen Chelsea slide to third in the Premier League and defeat this Saturday could result in them dropping to sixth by the end of the weekend.
However, Chelsea are playing one of only four teams below them in the form guide in the shape of Sunderland, who have just two wins in their last 22.
And history is also very much in Chelsea's favour as they have won 14 of their last 15 games against Sunderland
MANCHESTER UNITED VS MANCHESTER CITY,ARSENAL VS WEST BROM
Rafael insists that it would be a huge boost for Manchester United if they could open a six-point gap on rivals Manchester City.
The two clash on Sunday at the Etihad Stadium with United currently holding a three-point lead on the champions.
Even though the season is not yet halfway through, Rafael knows the meeting with their fierce rivals is a great chance for United to open up a significant lead.
"If we open the gap it can make the other team nervous and make it easier for us," said the Brazilian.
"There is definitely a determination to get the title back after the way we lost it. It was hard to take.
"We will never forget how we felt after the last game. We just looked at each other and asked, 'How did we lose that?' After last season, we just want the title back."Rafael was taken off in United's last game at Reading after just half-an-hour as they struggled to cope against the Royals, before edging a seven-goal thriller.
And he admits that they were not good enough despite their 4-3 victory at the Madejski, adding: "If we defend like we did at Reading against a team like City we will be in trouble, that is 100 per cent.
"This will be our biggest test of the season so we need to concentrate well
