Chelsea plan January swoop for Arsenal's Theo Walcott Chelsea sent a scout to monitor Walcott's performance for Arsenal - his first Premier League start since the opening day of the season - in the 3-3 draw at home to Fulham. Walcott's contract expires next summer and talks over a new deal have not progressed. Chelsea have long admired the 23 year-old and will push for a cut-price deal once the window reopens. They and can also offer him a role as a striker, which he has coveted at Arsenal without being given. Liverpool are also interested in Walcott but the England international would prefer to join a Champions League club. Arsenal would not want to sell to Chelsea but neither do they want Walcott to leave for free. The agent Pini Zahavi is negotiating Lampard's prospective deal with Guizhou. Zahavi has held talks with the midfielder and his agent, Steve Kutner, on behalf of the club's owner, Dia Yongge. Lampard has also been strongly linked with David Beckham's club, LA Galaxy, but Guizhou are increasingly optimistic that the 34 year-old will join them even though he rebuffed their initial offer. Lampard is also in the final year of his contract and is not expected to be offered a new deal. Chelsea, meanwhile, will recall John Terry to their starting line-up for the Premier League encounter at home to Liverpool. The defender was left out of the midweek Champions League tie against Shakhtar Donetsk and is no longer regarded as an automatic choice. He will partner David Luiz at the heart of defence, with Gary Cahill dropping out. Ryan Bertrand will continue to deputise for Ashley Cole.
