Arsenal's Theo Walcott is becoming a great player as his finishing skills improve according to Gunners boss Arsene Wenger.

Walcott scored a crucial goal in the 3-0 win over Villarreal in the Champions League quarter-final and received praise from his manager.

"We know he can finish but now he is transferring that to the games. His level of confidence has gone up," Wenger said.

"In training he was always a good finisher but now he is becoming a great finisher in games too."
