An x factor is not enough. And there is literally nothing that he does that is unmatched in our squad apart from the frequency with which he runs the ball straight out of play.

But, as I say. I really, really want to be wrong.
Respectfully; I disagree. Walcott could run fast and finish. Madueke has that but also had superb technical dribbling skills and ball striking skills.

He literally has all of the raw ingredients you?d want in a winger. Just as Sane did.

Let Arteta see what he can do with him. Could be special.
