A young prodigy explains their decision to join Arsenal instead of other top teams like Chelsea, Man Utd, and Liverpool.

Back in 2006, there was a young football player named Theo Walcott who was making big waves in the Premier League. He had caught the attention of several top clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool. It seemed like he could have his pick of any of these prestigious teams.

At the time, Walcott was playing for Southampton, a club known for its impressive youth academy. Naturally, he was faced with a difficult decision - which team should he join? In the end, he chose Arsenal, and recently retired at the age of 35. When asked about his decision, Walcott shared that he was drawn to Arsenal because he wanted to learn from one of the greatest players in the world, Thierry Henry.

While other clubs like Chelsea and Liverpool were also options for Walcott, it was Arsenal that ultimately won him over. He recalls how Arsene Wenger and David Dein played a pivotal role in his decision, and how the chance to play alongside his idol, Henry, was too good to pass up. For Walcott, it was a dream come true to have the opportunity to play with such a talented and legendary player.

During his 12-year tenure at Arsenal, Walcott helped the team secure two FA Cup titles before being sold to Everton in 2018. But retirement hasn't slowed him down - he now works as a club ambassador for Arsenal and also shares his expertise as a football pundit.

In his role as a pundit, Walcott recently made some interesting observations about Arsenal's current manager, Mikel Arteta. He believes that Arteta may have made a mistake in his handling of young player Ethan Nwaneri and has been too cautious with his approach. Walcott points out that Arteta has more experience at the highest level than he did, and believes that Nwaneri could have been given more playing time in the absence of Martin Odegaard.

In the end, Walcott believes that Nwaneri has a unique skillset that could have greatly benefited Arsenal during a difficult period without Odegaard. While Odegaard may be a magician on the field, Walcott sees great potential in the young Nwaneri and hopes that he will be given more opportunities to shine in the future.
