Gunners legend reveals star man to solve Arsenal's striking woes

Ian Wright believes Theo Walcott must be given a chance at Arsenal

ARSENAL legend Ian Wright believes Arsene Wenger must give Theo Walcott a chance to prove himself at the Emirates.

 

Wenger has come under fire for not signing a striker during the transfer window. 

And after Olivier Giroud's lacklustre start to the season, Walcott started ahead of the Frenchman during Arsenal's 2-0 win over Stoke last weekend.

 

While the pair both found the back of the net during the victory at the Emirates, Wright believes Walcott must be given a run of games by Wenger. 

"Everyone has had their say on Arsenal’s failure to bring in another striker and now I hope Theo Walcott is given a genuine run of games up there," Wright wrote in The Sun.

 

"The Gunners will always create chances and I feel it’s time to unleash Theo and let him prove he can do it.

"The challenge is for the likes of Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla to release him as quickly as possible when he makes those runs.

 

"I do think he could be clinical, I do think he can play up there and I do think Arsenal will get out of their Champions League group again at the very least.

"Bayern Munich are big favourites to win it, but the Gunners start at Dinamo Zagreb, which isn’t the toughest, and should be OK unless they have one of their European brainstorms."
