Arsenal ace Theo Walcott isn't concerned about the possibility that the Gunnersmight bring in major signings this summer - or the possibility that they might not.

Having made strides in his long hoped for transformation from wideman to centre forward last season - after hard lobbying of Arsene Wenger - you could forgive Walcott for scanning the morning papers nervously these days.

Arsenal have been linked with a number of world-class strikers - including Liverpool's Luis Suarez – who could all have stronger claims to a front and centre slot for the Gunners.

But Walcott has been at the club long enough to take all the talk with a pinch of salt... and just wait and see what actually happens.

"Time will tell if players come in or not," he told the club's official website. “But we just work with the squad we've got at the moment. Come the start of the season, there could be changes."

Walcott urges that whatever the ins and outs this summer, a fast start remains a top priority for the Gunners.

"The way we ended the season last year, 11 games undefeated - we need to do it from the start, which I believe we can," he added.

"The manager shows so much belief in us in every single game so we need to step up and I think we have got a very good chance of challenging this season.

"Every game in the Premier League is very tough and very interesting.

"It always comes down to the last few games, so we need to believe in ourselves."
