use 15M to buy a 16-year-old boy

Arsenal are set to win the £15m race for Southampton teenager Theo Walcott, BBC Sport understands.

Saints chairman Rupert Lowe was at Arsenal's training ground on Thursday and it is believed that a deal for the 16-year-old striker was agreed.

The fee could rise to £15m, and might involve Walcott being loaned back to Southampton, or current Gunners players switching to the south coast.

Chelsea are still interested, but it is understood the player prefers Arsenal.

The Stamford Bridge club have even told Saints they will better any offer made by their London rivals for a player regarded as the best of his age in the country.

But Walcott sees his future with Arsene Wenger at Highbury.

BBC Radio Five Live football correspondent Jonathan Legard said he understood discussions between Lowe and Gunners vice-chairman David Dein had gone very well.

"Southampton are pursuing a series of options, including a cash and Walcott loan back and a cash and players package," he added.

"The Arsenal and England Under-21 full-back Justin Hoyte - currently on loan at Sunderland - could be involved."

Lowe has previously said he could not give any "copper-bottom" guarantees that Walcott will stay.

Walcott's agent Colin Gordon told BBC Sport: "Our only concern is Theo's best interest and development as a player."

Saints deny Walcott deal with Gunners

Southampton have rubbished rumours that Arsenal have won the race to sign their 16-year-old superstar Theo Walcott.

Reports suggested a £15m deal had been reached following Southampton chairman Rupert Lowe's visit to Arsenal's training ground on Thursday but Lowe said: 'It is the first I have heard of it.'

'We would have to have agreed a fee for him to do that - and we have not done so.'

'Clive Woodward and I visited Arsenal's training ground today just to look at their facilities which are magnificent,' Lowe added.

'Maybe that has caused some crossed wires? But we have not agreed to sell Theo, we want to keep him.

The Saints chairman had previously said that he could not give any 'copper-bottom' guarantees that Walcott will stay at St Mary's.

Striker Walcott has a pre-contract agreement with Southampton to sign a professional contract on his 17th birthday in March.

But FIFA rules mean Walcott could sign for another club after his birthday with Southampton entitled to compensation - which could be around £500,000 - decided by a tribunal.

The proposed move to Arsenal could land Southampton £10million, with around 35 per cent of the fee paid up front and the rest dependent on appearances and goals for the Gunners.

Walcott's agent Colin Gordon told BBC Sport: 'Our only concern is Theo's best interest and development as a player.'

Lowe said: 'We want him to stay but I cannot give any copper-bottomed answers and say he will be here.

'In the same way that supporters have jobs and sometimes move on, if he feels he is better served by a move then that is a matter for him.'

Chelsea and Tottenham are also reportedly keen on signing the England Under-17 international
