Arsenal's Theo Walcott is the quickest player at the club and faster than former Gunners star Thierry Henry.

The 20-year old recently broke the 40-metre sprint record at the club, previously held by Henry, and also surpassed the Barcelona star's 5-metre and 10-metre times.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger confirmed that Walcott was the quickest players at the club and said his times were so good he could have even been a 100m sprinter.

"The fastest three players I would say are Theo Walcott, Carlos Vela and Armand Traore. And yes, Theo is the fastest," Wenger said.

"He has the record over 40 metres. I think it's 4.72 seconds or something like that. Thierry was very fast as well, 4.82secs. I don't guarantee [the time] but it is in this area.

"Certainly Theo could have been a 100 metre runner. But Carlos Vela is very fast as well, and Armand Traore is not far behind him."
