Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has said that he wants to be remembered as a player who was not just one-dimensional. The 23-year-old is regarded as one of the best players at Arsenal. He has just had his best season with Arsenal this season after scoring eight Premier league goals, although his contribution has been significant in terms of the number of assists. Many believe that it was Theo Walcott who turned the situation around for Arsenal a few months ago. Arsenal were 2-0 down in the match against archrivals Tottenham, but Theo Walcott scored two goals and set up many more in a match that ended 5-2 in favour of Arsenal.
Since then, Arsenal have been having a stronghold in the third position in the Premier league. Now, they look certainties to finish in the third position with only two matches remaining, which means that Arsenal will definitely going to the group stages of the Champions League without any qualification phases to encounter. Theo Walcott recently got injured in the match against Chelsea a few weeks ago. The hamstring injury is set to keep him out for the rest of the season, although he is likely to be back for the Euro 2012, which will begin in a month.
“At times people just expect me to knock the ball and run but it is not as easy as you think to be honest. As soon as you start doing that, the defender knows what you are doing every time. You need to change it because you can’t just be one-dimensional. I am always going to be known for pace, I know that. But the next step is the finishing. I have a lot of assists this season but I don’t think I am ever going to lose that,” Walcott told the official website of Arsenal.
