Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes the return of Theo Walcott could feel like a new signing and a boost for the Gunners. Arsenal were 11 points adrift of Chelsea after being thumped 3-0 at home at the end of November, but have hauled themselves back into the title race following a run of six wins in eight, while their rivals struggled for consistency.
"We are not close to signing anybody at the moment and we are so focused on the game that we forget a little bit to speak about transfers," said Wenger.
"We have so many players out that our talks are more focused on 'when is he back, when he is back' and it looks like any player we can get back is like a transfer because we have not seen some players this season - like Walcott, like Bendtner.
"They can be fresh for the second part of the season and they can give us a big push."
