He Won't Hit A Brick Wal

Jan 20 2008

ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger last night insisted teenage hitman Theo Walcott still has what it takes to become a megastar.

It's now two years since the Gunners boss sanctioned a £12million deal for the 16-year-old Southampton prodigy.

Walcott has only shown flashes of greatness at Arsenal but Wenger is confident he will come good, starting with Tuesday's Carling Cup semi-final second leg at Spurs.

He said: "Theo will get where I expect him to be.

"At the moment he is not there. But I'm not worried about it."
