Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has already started preparing for the 2016/17 season after undertaking his first personal training session with the fitness instructor who also trains Chelsea captain John Terry, reports the London Evening Standard.

Walcott was pictured on Tuesday undergoing a one-on-one training session with Bradley Simmonds, whose famous clients include Terry, Jamie Redknapp and Brendan Rodgers, in a bid to get himself fully fit for the new campaign - despite it being two months away.

Next to a photo of himself undergoing his new regime, Walcott wrote on Instagram: "Great first session with @bradleysimmonds and looking forward to working hard throughout the summer ready for the season ahead."

Simmonds then responded on the social media site, saying: "Brilliant first session with Arsenals @theowalcott today. Really looking forward to working with Theo this Summer as he looks to get super sharp, preparing for next season."
