Walcott is in fine form for the Gunners

Arsenal’s Theo Walcott was pretty average for England in the international break, however, the England international looked a completely different player in the weekend’s clash against Swansea City. The forward was seen making runs down the wing at times and also slotted into the centre when required which saw him fulfil a sort of dual role for the Gunners.

With Hector Bellerin providing width on the right, Walcott has the liberty to move into the box. His ability to finish has also stepped up a notch as he picked up a brace. However, Arsene Wenger and the fans will be expecting him to be more clinical as Walcott could’ve easily score two more on the night.
