Theo Walcott: 'I'm improving quickly'

Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has claimed that he has improved greatly this season.

The 23-year-old took his tally to 10 goals for the campaign with his strike in the opening stages of Wednesday's 1-1 draw at Everton.

"When given a little sniff I am able to take it now," Walcott told the club's official website. "My general play is getting better as well. The assists are coming now, which is fantastic, and I am enjoying my football.

"I am very happy with the way I have started and it has got to continue. Hopefully I will take it into Saturday's game."

The Gunners welcome Swansea City to the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League this weekend.
