Walcott stating a point by scoring another Hat-trick

Theo Walcott hopes he can win a regular starting role up front after proving his worth with a stunning hat-trick in the 7-3 defeat of Newcastle.

Walcott, whose contract runs out at the end of the season, was in irresistible form, book-ending the scoring as well as adding his side’s fourth as the Toon left the Emirates Stadium humiliated.

One of the sticking blocks in Walcott signing a new long-term deal with the Gunners is believed to stem around his desire to play a regular role up front instead of on the wing.

And while he insists he will do what is best for the team, he was pleased to show his talents in a forward role.

“I enjoy playing in whatever position but it was just telling the manager to give me the opportunities to play up front,” he told ESPN.
