Arsenal attacker Walcott: I want to be striker

Arsenal winger Theo Walcott insists he sees his future as a striker.

Walcott was outstanding on the flank for victory over Tottenham on Saturday.

He told talkSPORT: "Oh, without a doubt. I've always believed I'm a striker.

"The boss gave me five minutes at the end there and I managed to grab a goal, which is great.

"But when you've got someone like Olivier, who's playing well, there's no need to change a winning team at the moment.

"I think my time will come. I've just got to be a little more patient.

"But, like I say, I want to play up front. That's my position."
