England international Walcott has made just three substitute appearances in the league this season and only scored in the Europa League and League Cup, netting three times in five matches.

"I do not want Theo to move on," Wenger told reporters on Thursday. "His time in the Premier League will come.

"At the moment he has got less minutes in the Premier League than other competitions."

Fifth-placed Arsenal host Swansea City (15th) in the league on Saturday.
