19 attacker ‘exactly the kind of player’ Arsenal should sign – Gunners Board told!

Theo Walcott believes his former club Arsenal should sign Ollie Watkins this summer.

It has been no secret in the media over the past few months that ARSENAL FC are in need of adding a striker to that attack that has the ability to score goals on a weekly basis.

Gabriel Jesus can be brilliant – but he is far too inconsistent to be the main man at the Emirates, while Eddie Nketiah is still learning his trade and is not yet ready to be the top guy at the club.

That has led to all sorts of speculation about who the Gunners could buy – they will not be signing anyone this transfer window – but that has not stopped Walcott claiming that Ollie Watkins is a player that should be signed.

Discussing Arsenal’s plans for the summer, Walcott told Premier League Productions: ‘Well you look at their goals tally right now. They will probably invest in a striker and that player could well have been playing on the opposite side [at the weekend].’

Asked if he was referencing Watkins, who looks set to be picked in England’s squad for Euro 2024, Walcott responded: ‘I am indeed.

‘I feel he is the sort of player that Arsenal would look at. What I really like about Ollie Watkins is that, you look at his style and you think he is a winger.

‘He reminds me, and it’s one of the best compliments I am going to give him, but he reminds me of Thierry Henry.

‘Against Arsenal he played out on the left a lot. He wanted to be a forward, but drifted out on the left – he’s such a threat on the counter. He is playing at the top of his game and it would be refreshing to see if he stays at the club.

‘There were warning signs [for ARSENAL] when he hit the post. I feel like, when he goes through, he is going to score, that’s how confident he is playing right now.

‘I’m pretty sure there will be a lot of teams sniffing around for Ollie Watkins right now. He is very different.’
