Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger thinks that Theo Walcott is soon ready to move from the flank into the middle, taking up a role as a striker for the Gunners.
Arsene Wenger has always suggested that Walcott will end up as a striker, and the Frenchman feels he is almost ready to play in the middle.
When Walcott first joined Arsenal, many likened the England international to former Gunners hero Thierry Henry. It is hoped that Walcott can soon too replicate the kind of form that made Henry one of Arsenal's greatest ever players.
âI have as well other players who can play in this role - [Marouane] Chamakh, Park [Chu-Young], [Robin] van Persie, Gervinho,â Wenger told the club's official website.
âWalcott at the moment is for me suited to play on the flank. But he will later certainly move inside.
"When you look at Theo, heâs a player who you think sometimes âhe could have contributed more thenâ, but then you think 'who scored the goal?' Him. Or 'who made the pass?' Itâs him. Heâs a player who is efficient.
"I think he can make a decisive impact in every single game. Even in that game, you can say âOK he had not a great gameâ, maybe, but he was efficient. And thatâs the problem."
