What will Sanchez transfer to Arsenal mean for Walcott? The Arsenal and England forward Theo Walcott has shown his delight with the Gunners new signing Alexis Sanchez. The speedy Englishman has tweeted what a terrific move it is for the club and even been pictured with a beaming smile on his face while holding up one of the new PUMA kits with the Chilean’s name and number on it, but should he be a bit more concerned about what the arrival of Sanchez in north London will mean to his own place at the club? Although he is a versatile player and has played all across a front three and in midfield with Barcelona and for his country, you would say that as a forward on the right flank was his most common position. That is also Theo’s position, so if Arsene Wenger continues with his system of using Olivier Giroud as a target man in the centre forward role, the two could find themselves fighting for that starting place. This could see Walcott’s playing opportunities reduced, but it could also work in his favour. It could even mean that Walcott gets more time in the centre, which is what he has been asking for in recent years. With Sanchez on the right and maybe Campbell on the left, Arsenal would have three fast and tricky front men and that would give Theo more space to operate and use his new and improved finishing skills. How do you think the transfer of Sanchez will affect Walcott’s role at Arsenal?
