The forward beat club legend Thierry
Henry's 40m sprint record following
his move from Southampton in 2009,
but his own record has now been
broken
Theo Walcott has is no longer the fastes
player at Arsenal, with youngster
Hector Bellerin having broken his long-
standing 40m sprint record.
Walcott recorded a time of 4.42 second
in 2009 following his move from
Southampton, beating Thierry Henry's
previous record of 4.82 seconds.
But he has now revealed that 19-year-
old Bellerin has usurped him as the
Gunners' sprint king, though he
maintains that he would still be able t
defeat Henry in a straight sprint.
Asked who would win in a race betwee
himself and the club legend at an
Arsenal fans' Q&A, Walcott said: “Me!
Thierry is in his 30s now so I would be
very disappointed if I didn’t beat him.
I beat his sprint record which Hector
[Bellerin] has now broken.”
Bellerin made one apperance for the
Gunners in the Capital One Cup victory
over West Brom last season and spent
spell on loan at Watford.
The right-back joined the club from
Barcelona in 2011 and impressed
during the Emirates Cup in pre-season.
