5 Players That Will Define Arsenal's Future

5. Theo Walcott

He€™s not always been consistent, but this has been his best season to date and his versatility and speed are to be admired. At 24, he€™s still got a long career ahead of him and he will no doubt bring some fire and passion the Arsenal side. He has a flair and ability that can push the club further than ever before, whether he plays on the wing or up the middle. Like most fans, my first impression of Theo was based on his impeccable speed and the fact that he was wearing Henry's 14. I was immediately impressed and he quickly became one of my favorite Arsenal players, which at some points over the last few years has made me look foolish. Still, I stuck with him and it (eventually) paid off. Because he's had distinct ups and downs (and because of his drawn out contract negotiations earlier this year), he has suffered some ridicule from fans. Even so, I expect great things from him in the future and I think his best days at Arsenal are ahead.
