Arsenal winger Theo Walcott believes his return from injury provides the side with a different option when going forward.
The English international returned to first-team action last weekend against Manchester City, and he made an instanct impact by scoring two out of the three Arsenal goals.
The 24-year-old had been absent for over two months due to a stomach injury, but he has now returned and is now ready to provide the side with more options when attacking.
“You need different options,” he told Arsenal.com. “We’ve got a lot of players who love getting on the ball, who have great touch and great supply, but you need a bit of pace just to stretch teams and give them that extra bit of worry.
“We’ve got so much danger going forwards and it’s a nice headache for the manager to have. I’m a totally different player to most of our other options.”
Walcott has also spoken about linking up with Mesut Ozil, and he is has admitted that he is looking forward to finally playing alongside him.
“I only played two games with Mesut before getting injured,” he said. “If you look at his record he gets assists in pretty much every game – and he supplied me again the other weekend.
“He’s always looking for those passes, and we have a lot of others who can do that too. He’s making us a better team.”
