Arsenal legend Ian Wright has said that he believes Theo Walcott should be given an extended run as striker.
Walcott, who has stated that he would like to play in a central striking role, has netted 11 goals in his last 11 Premier League starts.
Wright has said that the England international deserves the opportunity to build on the form he has shown so far this season.
"Everyone's had their say on Arsenal's failure to bring in another striker and now I hope that Theo Walcott is given a genuine run of games up there," Wright told The Sun.
"The Gunners will always create chances and I feel it's time to unleash Theo and let him prove he can do it.
"The challenge is for the likes of Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla to release him as quickly as possible when he makes those runs."
Walcott scored the opening goal in Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Stoke City on Saturday.
