Arsene Wenger expects the likes of Theo Walcott and Jack Wilshere to have a big impact next season.

The Arsenal duo both missed long periods of the 2014/15 campaign, but made significant contributions upon their return as the Gunners won the FA Cup.

“The best way to strengthen other areas of the team is to get the players who did not play a lot last year and keep them fit,” Wenger told Arsenal Player.

“Walcott basically did not play until the end of the season, Wilshere has not played many games. Those two were very convincing at the end of the season so I hope that this season we can benefit from their participation and competitiveness.

“We lost Ozil and Giroud for long periods last year and they contributed a lot in the second part of the season. Let’s hope all these players will be fit and available.

“After, if we can still add some quality, we will do it.”
