Arsenal ace Walcott hopes for England striker role

Arsenal attacker Theo Walcott hopes to start in attack for England against Brazil.

Walcott scored 14 league goals for the Gunners last season and could get the chance to play up front with England's resources so stretched.

He said: "It would be fantastic. I've said I wanted to play there.

"People say I've played up front this year but I've had limited opportunities and got most of my goals from the wing.

"I am the top Englishman for goals and assists in the Premier League, my confidence is good and that was from playing on the wing.

"Playing for England in any position is a dream but I've had a go up front in training so we will see."
