One of the most exciting talents at the Club. Bought in January 2006 from Southampton to a fanfare of publicity, the winger went on to be chosen for England’s World Cup squad for Germany that summer without having represented his new club. Theo’s Arsenal debut eventually came on August 23, 2006 against Dinamo Zagreb. He put in some lively cameos at the start of the campaign and famously grabbed his first goal in the Carlling Cup Final against Chelsea. Last season, he continued to make an impression on the international stage. He became the youngest player to represent England at 17 years 175 days and the youngest player to score for the Under-21 side.
