Trevor Sinclair: 'Theo Walcott is limited on the wing, should play up front'

Former England winger Trevor Sinclair believes that Arsenal's Theo Walcott would be better deployed up front rather than on the flanks.

Former England winger Trevor Sinclair has claimed that Theo Walcott would be better deployed up front for Arsenal, rather than on the flanks.

The 26-year-old has largely been used as a winger during his career, although Wenger recently stated that he would share striking responsibilities with Olivier Giroud.

Sinclair told BBC Sport: "I think [Walcott] is a bit limited on the wing because a full-back will show you outside and give you a lot of space because of your pace.

"I think Walcott up front gives them the extra dimension of being able to stretch teams. Instinctively he's a great finisher, but he's got better and matured."

Walcott has scored 78 goals in all competitions for Arsenal since moving from Southampton in 2006.
