Walcott Believes Arsenal Has Better Strikers Now Than 2006

Theo Walcott believes Arsenal's current strikers are better than what the club had in 2006.

Walcott joined the Gunners that year, playing alongside members of the 2003-04 'Invincibles' side such as Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Robert Pires.

Walcott said teammates Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud, Danny Welbeck and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are a stronger line-up.

He said: "I think this squad probably does beat it, but we need to prove it."

Walcott told the club's website: "When I came, it was Pires and Ljungberg, Bergkamp, Thierry and Reyes - that's some attacking force as well.

"When we go and achieve a little bit more than winning the FA Cup, then I think we can stand up and say this is the best attacking line up we've ever had."
