Arsenal forward Theo Walcott insists he
will welcome the increased competition for places should Arsene Wenger
bring in a new striker this month, Skysports reports.
The table-topping Gunners have seen
strikers Olivier Giroud and Nicklas Bendtner suffer ankle injuries –
intensifying speculation that Fulham veteran Dimitar Berbatov will
switch to the Emirates Stadium.
Walcott said, “To be fair that is for
the manager to decide if
he wants to go out and buy anyone, whoever will
come to the club in January, if not it is going to make the club
stronger anyway.
“It is always nice to have competition
with players coming in, but January is such a difficult period in the
transfer market to get players in, especially the top players.
“The boss has already said that he is
looking for special players and we have got a lot of special players in
that dressing room.”
Arsenal returned to the top of the
table, one point ahead of Manchester City, after a late double salvo
secured a 2-0 victory over Cardiff at the Emirates Stadium on New Year’s
Day.
Walcott added, “If you want to win
titles then you have got to go to the end and the thing about this team
at the moment is that we never give up.”
