UEFA Champions League: Theo Walcott names team he expects to win season’s trophy

Former Arsenal forward, Theo Walcott, has said the Gunners can win the UEFA Champions League trophy in the ongoing season.

Arsenal have emerged as one of the best teams over the last couple of campaigns.

The Gunners have come close to winning the Premier League twice but were stopped by Manchester City.

At the moment, they are second behind Liverpool in the table with 47 points from 23 games.

They finished third in the Champions League table with 19 points from eight matches.

Walcott told the BBC that Arsenal need to improve two things if they are to win the European club’s most prestigious trophy.

“There are areas that Arsenal need to improve on if they want to win the Champions League. They need to improve their winning mentality, there were signs of that last year.

“I feel if they’re going to progress, I want to see players expressing themselves, playing with enjoyment and freedom.

“They’re also lacking that star striker. Kai Havertz gets the best out of everyone on the team, but if they want to win the Champions League, they need to get those numbers a lot higher.

“If they can improve those two areas, Arsenal aren’t far away from winning the Champions League.”
