If appearances are any indication, Theo Walcott's time at Arsenal is winding down.

Not since February has Walcott been included in Arsenal's starting XI, and he's only played a total of 19 minutes in the Gunners' last three fixtures as Alex Ibowi and Danny Welbeck have leapfrogged him in the club's pecking order.

Asked if Walcott could leave Arsenal, Arsene Wenger replied, according to the Press Association: "I don't know yet. I'm not in transfer mode at the moment but I think he has gone through a bad spell. He has responded very well, because he said: 'Okay, I will work harder and more.' When he comes on now, you see he is motivated and focused. Let's see how well he finishes the season."

Walcott has made 26 Premier League appearances for Arsenal this season, 11 of which were as a substitute and during which time he has tallied five goals and two assists.
