Walcott nears return and lavishes new star Sanchez with praise

This summer seems to be an endless period of good news for Arsenal fans, and it looks like they are even signing players as well.

If that wasn’t enough, the Guardian have reported that Theo Walcott is getting back to full fitness.

The Arsenal star has been missed since his cruciate ligament injury earlier in the season and to have him back on form and fighting fit is a massive plus for Arsene Wenger and his title challenge.

Not only is Walcott looking to get back to full fitness, but he cannot wait to link up with Alexis Sanchez, who is the marquee signing of the summer for the Gunners.

Walcott was asked about the Chile international and claimed: ‘He’s still very young as well and he is going to show so much pace and power, which we lacked a bit last year.

‘With me and him on the flanks, a lot of teams won’t be looking forward to playing Arsenal this year.’

He also spoke about his injury, and in news that will be one of the highlights of the summer for the  Emirates Stadium faithful, it seems that his rehab is progressing well.

The winger added: ‘Things are looking really good and I have worked very hard for the last five months now.’
