Arteta Must Sign Watkins --Walcott

Former Arsenal star, Theo Walcott has called on Mikel Arteta to sign Ollie Watkins this summer.

Walcott also feels the player in question should have Premier League experience.

He told The Sun that Watkins has established himself in the Premier League.

“Arsenal did great, they competed throughout the whole season and learnt a lot from previous mistakes.

“I think what Mikel Arteta has done and the atmosphere at Arsenal is incredible. What we are missing is a striker, and to have that balance on the bench.

“I’d say that’s the one thing, maybe Mikel didn’t trust his bench as much. I’m looking at someone like an Alexander Isak or an Ollie Watkins who’s been established in the Premier League.

“We may look abroad but I’m a big believer in someone who is proven in the Premier League.”
