Emmanuel Petit chose his top 10 of who he thinks will light up the new season, he rated Theo amongst the likes of Tevez, Ronaldo, Torres and Rooney

8 Theo Walcott, winger/forward

Arsenal, 1 England cap

“The circumstances of Theo’s move to Arsenal and inclusion in England’s World Cup squad ensured he spent last season under huge pressure. I’ve seen the boy train and I can tell you he is something special. At times last season he reminded me of a wild horse - amazing speed but unsure of his direction. This campaign he must have the direction, the confidence and, above all else, an ability to score goals for his team.”
