‘Absolute dream’: Theo Walcott picks best player he played with at Arsenal
Theo Walcott has claimed that Robin van Persie is the best player he ever had the pleasure of playing with during his time at Arsenal.
The former 💛Gunners flyer was speaking with and made the claim.
Walcott made 398 appearances for Arsenal and helped the club win the FA Cup thre🌜e times.
He played with some remarkable players at the Emirates Stadium but believes the 𒁃ex-Netherlands per🍒former to be the best.
“I spoke to someone about this the other day a𝔍ctually and debated a couple but I’d have to say Robin (van Persie).
“For me, heဣ was the best finisher I’ve♑ ever seen, genuinely better than Thierry Henry, better than anyone I’ve seen because he genuinely made it look so easy.
“He always knew he was going to get it on that left foot and he made my job easy, he really did because I’d do so✃mething, give it to 🍸him, and you knew he was going to score for you.
“He was an absolute dream to pꦛlay wit꧅h and his left-foot was incredible.”
TBR View: Walcott claim interesting but not overly surprising
The former Gunners star did play with some incred🅺ible players during his time at the Emir🔯ates Stadium.
Walcott didn’t really play with Thierry Henry in his prime, soಌ that pretty much rules him out.
The most surprising element of Walcott’s selection is perhap🍷s his acrimonious departure.
Seeking an elusive Premier League titl🗹e, he opted to leave the Gunners to sign for Mancheไster United.
That still hurts Arsenal supporters and Walcott waxing lyrical about him might not have gone 🧜down too well.
He did, however, score 132 goals in 278 🥀appearances for the Gunners and with that in mind, Walౠcott’s choice isn’t really a huge shock.
