THEO Walcott warned Arsenal fans hoping he will immediately plug the gap left by Thierry Henry to be patient.
A lot of hopes are pinned on the teenager after the Frenchman’s £16million move to Barcelona.
But Walcott has told GunnersÂ’ supporters to remember he is only 18 years old before they start to demand miracles from him.
“I know I’m quite a high-profile player but I’m just 18, so all I want to do is work hard and try to get more starts for the first team,” he said.
“I want to get 10 goals next season and I would like to make 20 or 25 starts. Basically I want to improve every year.”
Walcott is returning two weeks early for pre-season training, along with Robin Van Persie.
“We train with each other every day, so we are only going to get better,” he added.
If he really is the best,MAYBE arsenal do not need any striker nxt season? hmm
