Arsenal legend Wright fears for Walcott development

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has concerns for Theo Walcott's development.

Walcott delivered a disappointing performance for England in their friendly win over Egypt this week.

Wright told talkSPORT: "'I feel sorry for Theo.

"When you watched him yesterday it looked like he hasn't learned much about anything in respect of movement off the defender, receiving the ball and going past people. He just seems to like to get the ball and hammer at people without any thought.

"The injuries and being in and out is not helping him. There's a lot of pressure on Theo and he looked like somebody who had been thrust into something and he hasn't really got the confidence to play it out."
