Arsenal Transfers: 5 Theo Walcott Replacements Wenger Must Sign

Junior Hoilett

Junior Hoilett took the Premier League by storm last season, with some awesome performances for Blackburn who were eventually relegated. 7 goals and 6 assists from 34 appearances are very solid statistics for a young player in a struggling club, the Canadian youngster also has a penchant for spectacular goals which endears him to the fans; he was a regular feature in the goal of the month shortlists. He plays in more of an attacking role than a classic winger would, preferring to cut in and shoot rather than get to the by-line and put a cross in. He would also bring pace to Arsenal (again not as much as Walcott, but still) as well as really high quality finishing and delivery. The biggest plus is that he would come for a free transfer and the club would only have to pay a relatively small compensation fee to Blackburn. A deal is unlikely due to interest from Bundesliga clubs which offer regular first-team action, but it€™s still possible that Arsene Wenger will move for him to replace Walcott.
