Arsenal skipper Arteta: Walcott return huge boost

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is considering Theo Walcott for a start in their Champions League clash with Anderlecht.

Walcott may start the Group D clash at the Emirates and, despite the Gunners' wealth of attacking options, Mikel Arteta believes the England forward brings a different dimension to the side.

"He is a unique player," Arteta said.

"He has been here a long time and for us he is a player (that) gives us something very, very different.

"Theo has been tremendous for the last few seasons so to get a player like him back after a long time can only be a bonus for us."
