‘Theo’s had sensational transformation’

Arsene Wenger has praised the “absolutely sensational” transformation Theo Walcott has undergone in his time at the Club.

The 23-year-old has enjoyed a superb season so far, reaching 18 goals in all competitions and impressing both out wide and up front.

The England international also made his 250th appearance for Arsenal in Saturday’s 1-0 win at Sunderland, and earned special praise from his manager.

“It’s unbelievable. I believe what this season shows is the remarkable evolution of Theo Walcott,” Wenger told Arsenal Player.

“He’s a complete player today and his transformation is absolutely sensational.

“He improves every week and it shows that he is remarkably intelligent as well, because he understands things quickly, takes them on board and is open-minded. That’s why I believe he is always improving.”
