Lots of similar players
Arsenal are blessed with a whole host of attacking midfield options. Mesut Ozil, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey, Alexis Sanchez, Danny Welbeck, and more are lining up to play in and around central striker Olivier Giroud. All those players offer something different, but it’s easy to see why Walcott can get lost, and why he often finds himself on the substitutes bench. Perhaps it would be better for all concerned if Walcott went somewhere that he would be better appreciated, and used on a more regular basis.
