Arsenal boss Wenger confident Walcott will show worth

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is convinced Theo Walcott will shine after hitting his double at Birmingham City last week.

"I felt after Theo had scored his first goal, you saw a different player," he said. "That is a positive, because it looks like it was a relief for him to score.

"Suddenly when he had confidence, he started to take more people on - and the second goal he scored is the goal I see more in training, but which I never saw before now in a competitive game."
