Arsene Wenger has revealed how he was convinced that Arsenal would see a new Theo Walcott after a summer heart-to-heart with the forward about his Euro 2016 heartache.

Walcott held talks with Wenger regarding his future after losing his Arsenal place at the end of last season and subsequently being left out of England’s Euro 2016 squad.

The 27-year-old agreed to stay and fight for his place and the decision has so far paid off, as Walcott has won his place back in the Arsenal team and was included in Sam Allardyce’s first England squad.
