THEO WALCOTT has named the two Arsenal stars that he "simply loves watching" this season.<\/p>\n
Walcott was known for his exciting wing play and eye for goal during his playing days and has named two wingers who possess that quality in abundance.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaking to Arsenal club media, Walcott said that Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka are the players that get him out of his seat the most.<\/p>\n
Speaking ahead of Arsenal's 6-0 victory over Lens he said: "The manager (Arsene Wenger) said to me to change the game, to use my pace, do what I\u2019m good at.<\/p>\n
"It frustrates me still when I see wingers not using their pace. It\u2019s your main weapon, exploit it. That\u2019s why I love watching Martinelli and Saka now. Defenders hate you running at them."<\/p>\n
Both Saka and Martinelli got in on the goals in the 6-0 rout yesterday, as Arsenal got revenge for their 2-1 away loss to the Ligue 1 side in October.<\/p>\n
There's real excitement building as to what Arsenal could do in the Champions League this season after their win confirmed they would top the group.<\/p>\n And Walcott said on the team's prospects: "I think it\u2019s really interesting, because Arsenal haven\u2019t been in the Champions League for a few years, but I do feel a lot of teams will fear playing this team.<\/p>\n "I think at some point this season Mikel might have to make a decision about what he wants to prioritise, because I can see Arsenal being right in contention until the end of the season, and it might be a case of deciding which one he wants to go for. <\/p>\n "It\u2019s going to be interesting, but there\u2019s no doubt the club are moving the right way under Mikel, and it\u2019s looking really exciting."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Earlier this week, Walcott delighted Arsenal fans when he launched a dig at rivals Spurs following their 2-1 loss at the hands of Aston Villa.<\/p>\n On Ollie Watkins' winner against Tottenham, Walcott said: "I lived off running in behind Tottenham in particular so I'm happy with that."<\/p>\n Arsenal will look to build on their stunning win at home to Lens when they host Wolves at 3pm on Saturday.<\/p>\n ARSENAL NEWS LIVE: <\/strong>KEEP UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE ONGOINGS FROM THE EMIRATES<\/p>\n<\/picture>DOUBLE DUTCH <\/span><\/p>\n
