Walcott new deal: Four reasons this divisive Arsenal star is the most frustrating Gunners player

2) Negative: Injury record

Playing just 27 Premier League games in the last two seasons, it’s clear that Walcott has a real issue with staying fit. It can perhaps be easy to miss as Arsenal have had rotten luck with injuries in general over the years, but the England winger really is one of the most injury prone players on the books at the Emirates, and a new contract on big money looks risky given that he could quite feasibly miss large chunks of the season again.
