Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin has claimed that Theo Walcott can be "unstoppable" when on top form in his central striking role.
The 26-year-old has had a solid start to the season for the Gunners in his new role by notching four goals in 10 appearances.
However, Coquelin believes that the all–round play of Walcott has made his performances even more impressive to him and his teammates.
"He has shown everyone he can play in this role up front," Coquelin is quoted as saying by The Mirror.
"It was not only offensively, what he did defensively was amazing. He was defending, chasing the ball. It makes things easier for us at the back.
"When he is in this kind of mood he is not far off being unstoppable."
Walcott is expected to play for England in their Euro 2016 qualifiers against Estonia and Lithuania over the next week.
