ARSENAL have warned Theo Walcott they will not be held to ransom over his contract demands. The England and Gunners winger, 23, is in the final year of his current deal and could leave for free next summer. He told SunSport last month that he wanted to stay at the Emirates Stadium. But Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood said: “We have got our general overall wage structure and we are not prepared to break it for anybody. “We have made an offer which he didn’t think was acceptable and that is the end of it. We think it is a very reasonable offer. “For the moment his people are still talking to us and we hope it will be resolved. But don’t ask me when, because I haven’t a clue. “I hope that he will eventually come round and sign. “It will be a pity if he does not but the whole issue of pay for footballers has got totally out of hand and they don’t get terribly well advised a lot of the time.”

Frank Lampard
EASTERN RICHES ...Lampard could pick between huge Chinese offers

FRANK LAMPARD will be offered a Chinese takeaway of £250,000 a week AFTER tax.

The England midfielder is wanted by former Chelsea team-mate Didier Drogba’s club Shanghai Shenhua, as well as their Chinese Super League rivals Beijing Guoan.
And both are ready to offer that mega-bucks £1MILLION a month jackpot.
Lampard, 34, can talk to any club in the world in January as he will be a free agent next summer when his Blues contract finishes.
He appears on his way out at Stamford Bridge after 11 years, as Chelsea have a policy of offering players over 30 only a one-year extension to their current deal.
Lamps could bank around £36m from a three-year stint in China with Drogba and Co.
But, already financially secure for life, he has always told pals he is more interested in a challenge than money.
Sunsport also exclusively revealed that David Beckham’s LA Galaxy are interested in Lampard — as an eventual successor to 38-year-old Becks.
