"I can only speak from experience but he was one of the most dangerous players I have ever played against" - Lionel Messi on Theo Walcott

The Arsenal veteran, at one point in his career, had a lot more to offer, as his pace and dribbling skills were one of his most important assets. His early days playing for the Gunners proved to be an important factor for him, as the Englishmen registered himself as one of the most important players at the Emirates.

A product of the Southampton youth academy, Walcott lost his charisma after suffering multiple injuries that forced him to stay on the bench for a very long time. With only 6 appearances in the 2017/18 season, Walcott's time with the Gunners was surely over, as he joined the Everton side, for whom he has scored 5 goals so far and has started to slowly win over the fans at his new club.
