A baby face and the occasional childish sulk often disguise the fact that Walcott is now the Gunners' longest-serving player, having clocked up 11 years at the Emirates. Now 28, the winger was put out after being excluded from Gareth Southgate's latest England squad, pointing out: “I'm one of the leading goalscorers in the league”.
They may not be quite true, but 10 goals and two assists in 23 appearances this season – and a better minute-per-goal ratio than Jermain Defoe and Jamie Vardy – suggests he may have a point. Walcott now has 19 in all competitions and is set for his most prolific Arsenal season, with the 21 he scored in 2012/13 within his sights.
