The England international doesn’t seem to have any issues with being deployed on the wings by his manager, although he has admitted his preferred role is as a central striker.
Speaking with Arsenal’s official website, Walcott discussed the flexibility of forward positions and how much he enjoys playing for the club, and was quoted as saying:
"In modern-day football the three up front tend to change around a lot. You see it with England and with Barcelona, so we have that sort of trust in each other knowing that everyone can do that sort of role. It's not a problem at all,”
"I like it anywhere. I enjoy playing for this club. It's well-documented where I want to play but there's a lot of competition in that front line. If I'm in a role then I have to do my best there, but it's another option for the manager. It's not a bad thought." added the England international when speaking to Arsenal’s official website.
Walcott has made 208 league appearances for Arsenal, scoring 50 goals. The speedster enters his 10th year with the club since signing from Southampton as a 16-year-old, and has a year left on his current deal.
