Arsenal star Theo Walcott is entering the publishing business.

Walcott has put pen to paper on an undisclosed deal with publishing giant Random House to write a collection of children's tales, based on the star himself!

The winger revealed he has already drafted two tales both about the adventures of a 'fictional' hero schoolboy called TJ, who coincidentally shares the same nickname Walcott acquired in the playground and also happens to be a football wonderkid.

"I'm really excited to be working on this series," said Walcott.

"Many of my experiences as a young footballer will be relived by TJ in the stories."
