Giovinco's not Gunner move - Agent

Sebastian Giovinco's agent has denied speculation the Juventus midfielder has held talks with Premier League club Arsenal.Reports in the English media claim the 21-year-old has been in touch with the Gunners over a possible move to London.
But Giovinco's representative, Andrea D'Amico, insists there is no truth in the stories, suggesting the player is keen to stay with Juve.
"They haven't spoken to me and as far as I'm aware they haven't spoken to Juventus," D'Amico told Milan-based website Novantesimo.
"With respect to the player's contract renewal, we will soon meet Juventus to negotiate."
Giovinco returned to Juve this summer after a successful season-long loan at Empoli.

Walcott relaxed ahead of crucial clash


Theo Walcott insists he goes into England's clash against Croatia with no fear and will relish the pressure in Zagreb if selected.

The 19-year-old got his first senior start at the weekend for the win over Andorra, with his pace offering an option to Fabio Capello for the World Cup qualifier against Slaven Bilic's side.

Skipper John Terry had spoken of a "fear factor" among the squad but Walcott said: "A lot of young players have no fear, there are no pressures on them and they can go out and enjoy it."

He added: "David (Beckham) came to me and told me to enjoy it and to play my football, then I'd be fine. That's true of a lot of young players.

"I've had a lot of experience at England level now, I haven't played as much as I'd wanted to. I've had a lot of experience at Arsenal too and deal with pressure.

"The main thing is to concentrate on your own performance within the team and you're fine with pressure."

Walcott feels his style will suit Capello if they use the counter-attack against the country which defeated England twice in their last qualifying campaign.

"I give England a different aspect to the game, getting in behind defenders.

"It was very difficult the other day against Andorra because they were so deep. On Wednesday it will be a totally different game, more football involved, playing the counter-attack suits my game."
