Following Theo Walcott's impressive performance in Arsenal's second preseason match, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said the youngster looks ready to contribute to the club this season.
We could see [from the match] that we have a lot of hope for Theo Walcott. He has shown that he is in much better shape than last year at the same time after the World Cup. Theo has recovered well from his shoulder injury and he is at an age now where you expect every month more.
Walcott scored a goal and set up another in Arsenal's 3-0 win and the youngster who was selected for England's World Cup side before ever playing for Arsenal is starting to show the skills that caused Wenger to speak so highly of him.
Now, he'll get more chances to show that for the Gunners.
Theo is in the squad of 20 players. When you want a successful season, every player will get his share in the number of games he will play - and Theo can be an important asset for us.
Our future star!!
