Theo Walcott suggests Arsenal move to Liverpool target Christian EriksenLiverpool could face serious competition from Arsenal for the summer transfer of Denmark's teenage sensation Christian Eriksen, after Theo Walcott suggested the Gunners make a bid to take him to the Emirates Stadium.

Walcott witnessed the 18-year-old playmaker's precocious talent at close quarters during England's 2-1 victory in Copenhagen on Wednesday.
And the former Southampton winger, who was himself signed by the Gunners when still a developing teenager, believes Eriksen would be 'a great addition' to Arsene Wenger's squad.
'He has a good touch. You can see he is technically gifted, very comfortable and doesn't lose the ball that often,' Walcott said.
'As for him coming to Arsenal, it's a question to ask the boss - but he would be a great addition.'
Eriksen is currently contracted to A**x until 2014, although his impressive performance against England is likely to have attracted interest from several Premier League clubs.
Liverpool coach Sammy Lee is known to have been present for Wednesday's game against the Danes, and it is thought his main purpose was to keep tabs on Eriksen with a view to making a bid for the player in the summer.
However, the midfielder has played down the prospects of leaving the Amsterdam giants: 'Every time A**x play, there are clubs watching me. That's just the way it is in A**x.
'So yes, Liverpool have probably seen me but I am not spending time wondering about it. I think I'm going to play in A**x until my contract expires.'
