Walcott breaks Henry's record

[Twan]

Theo Walcott is not only Arsenal's fastest current player but he has also broken Thierry Henry's sprint record at the Club.

In an exclusive webchat with Arsenal.com on Tuesday, Arsène Wenger revealed his quickest three players over 40 metres were Walcott, Carlos Vela and Armand Traore, with the Englishman pipping the other two on the line.

In fact the former Southampton striker has even snatched the sprint crown from his predecessor in the No 14 shirt.

"The fastest three players I would say are Theo Walcott, Carlos Vela and Armand Traore," said Wenger. "And yes Theo is the fastest.

"He has the record on 40 metres. I think it's 4.72 seconds or something like that.

"Thierry was very fast as well, 4.82secs. I don't guarantee [the time] but it is in this area.

"Certainly Theo could have been a 100 metre runner. But Carlos Vela is very fast as well and Armand Traore is not far behind him."

He is often 'faking'...taking fast baby steps that will get him to the ball 2nd. ...another Mamma's boy like Theo. In Ja we would say they both play like a 'pu!@#$$$y'!

btw - Newton Sterlings speed may be within this range. In fact, I would put my money on Newton to beat these guys!

We're talking about running here. He has recent 30 meters TIMES of 3.00 change. He should be running 40 meters round about 4.5 or thereabouts.
