ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger claims Theo Walcott’s recent goalscoring form is all down to his new-found aggressive streak.

Walcott has three goals in his last four games, including the Gunners first equaliser in the 2-2 draw with Manchester City on Sunday.
That strike took him to 18 goals for the season in just 31 appearances.
The 28-year-old now needs just four goals to make it his most successful goalscoring season in an Arsenal shirt.

And Wenger believes the forward’s form in front of goal is all down to his new-found aggressive attitude.
“I was pleased to see Theo Walcott score again on Sunday,” Wenger wrote in his programme notes.
“He now has three goals in his last four games and I think this season he has found more determination, a more aggressive attitude.
“He always had great quality in his runs, the quality of his receptions have always been very strong.
“I would say for many years he had not always an adjusted finishing quality.
“But he’s improved a lot on his finishing and that’s why he scores more goals.”
