Theo Walcott : A Fight For His Shirt

 Theo Walcott has endured a difficult season with ArsenalArsenal's Theo Walcott, is currently facing trouble in his fight to save his place in the England team and also a place in Arsenal's starting 11.
the currently out of favor and out of form striker, has to fight and impress both Arsenal's coach and also his Country's coach in order to return to the teams. He was left out of the 2016 Qualifiers match against The Netherlands and Germany, with the coach favoring Danny Drinkwater.
Saturday's trip to Goodison Park, provided some welcome relief for Arsenal, but for Theo Walcott the 2-0 win was another reminder of just how far down the pecking order he has fallen.
In a must-win game for Arsenal's fading title hopes, the 27-year-old was an unused substitute as rookie teenager Alex Iwobi marked his first Premier League start with a man-of-the-match performance and a crucial goal.

Iwobi's impact is likely to keep Walcott on the bench when Watford visits the Emirates Stadium afetr the international break. It appears Danny Welbeck and Olivier Giroud are Arsene Wenger's favoured options up front, while Joel Campbell and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have also been preferred on the flanks.
