Liverpool demands Arsenal's Walcott, Gibbs for Sterling

Walcott

Liverpool have contacted Arsenal to propose a stunning swap deal that would see Raheem Sterling head to North London in exchange for Theo Walcott and Kieran Gibbs, according to ESPN.

Sterling’s future has come into question after his agent claimed last month that the attacker wants to leave and has no intention of signing a new contract at Anfield, even if he was offered £900,000-a-week.

Liverpool have publicly insisted that the 20-year-old isn’t for sale and will be forced to see-out the remaining two-years of his current deal, but it appears that privately the club are considering their options.

ESPN claim sources have informed them that Liverpool are wanting to make sure they get the best possible deal for Sterling and have now made contact with Arsenal to outline their terms over a possible deal.

The report states that the Merseysiders have indicated they are willing to do business over Sterling but only if the Gunners are prepared to give them Theo Walcott and Kieran Gibbs in exchange for the unsettled attacker.

The prospect of a Sterling-Walcott swap deal has been mooted for a while but this is the first we’ve heard of the possible inclusion of Gibbs, and it will be interesting to see how Arsenal respond to Liverpool’s proposal.

Gibbs fell behind Nacho Monreal in Wenger’s pecking order during the second half of the season, while Walcott’s future at the Emirates is also uncertain as he’s about to enter the final year of his contract and is yet to open talks over a new deal.

The 26-year-old was also out-of-favour under Arsene Wenger during the second half of last season until he hit a hat-trick against West Brom during a rare start and subsequently scored in Saturday’s FA Cup final win over Aston Villa.

Walcott is understood to want assurances over regular playing time before he agrees any new deal but it remains to be seen whether Wenger is able to give him what he wants, as the Gunners have an abundance of attacking talent at their disposal.

Gibbs and Walcott would fill two problem areas for Brendan Rodgers so a swap deal for the unsettled Sterling may suit Liverpool, but it would be a surprise if Arsenal contemplated such a deal.

Village girls should be the best choice for marriage - See why

Stumbled on this piece about what a guy wrote, advising guys on the choice of a lady for marriage; especially in the recent economic situation of Nigeria. Read what he wrote: In this new world of rising dollars, it is only normal to take certain austerity measures in areas of our lives; marriage is one of those areas. No one will subsidize a wedding for you, so you need to start acting smart in your choice of a partner. As a fall out of our crashing currency, the economy needs to be expanded, and we are now been encouraged to buy local products in order to grow the Naira. Getting involved with a city girl is pretty expensive, the only way to go local is to pick from any of the good village girls. The cost of maintenance is small compared to a city girl. The average village girl does not know how to club, she won't even ask you about it. She doesn't eat chocolates and Sharwarma. She's never heard of Sushi and never been to Shoprite. Her hairdo is never beyond N200 b
