Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has called on Theo Walcott to follow his example and sign a new contract at the Emirates Stadium.

Wilshere agreed an extension to his deal at the Gunners last week along with Kieran Gibbs, Aaron Ramsey, Carl Jenkinson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Walcott's current contract runs out at the end of the summer with Manchester United and Liverpool reportedly keeping tabs on his situation.
The 23-year-old apparently wants a higher wage as well as assurance that he will be deployed in a central striker role.
And Wilshere is hoping that the matter can resolve itself and the two parties come to an amicable agreement.
"Everybody at the club wants Theo to re-sign. I'm always winding him up, saying 'c'mon Theo, sign'," he told the Sun.
"But that is something he has got to sort out. It is up to him and the club to reach an agreement and I hope they do.
"Theo's been great for us and he knows what he means to us and the fans. Five of us British boys have just signed so hopefully he can be the sixth and cap it off.
"We're all great friends, the British boys. We all go out together, have meals together and we all sit together when we're on the road."
