Arsenal's Walcott shrugs off No14 pressure

Theo Walcott has shrugged off the expectations that come with inheriting Thierry Henry's No14 shirt at Arsenal.

"It's just a number in the end," he told the Observer. "It's just a number on the back of a shirt, that's what I think, anyway.

"In five years' time I want to be a regular for Arsenal and England, scoring 20 goals a season. That's a lot, but you have to set your sights high. I want to win the Premier League, the Champions League and the FA Cup. That's the main thing, medals. People go on about money and contracts, but for me it's always going to be about the football."
