It seems the choice of decision comes as Arsenal are looking to sign Lyon’s Alexandre Lacazette who is a centre-forward.

“I want to make my position on the right – that’s where I know where I am now. I’ve told the manager that I want to be known for playing on the right again, although I can play up front,” Walcott said.

“I want to know where I want to play. The manager has said I can play up front. It depends on what game it is. I know I can do a job up front as well as on the right.”
