Le Tissier: Arsenal kid Walcott can better Rooney
|
Southampton great Matt Le Tissier says Arsenal whizkid Theo Walcott can emerge as a bigger star than Manchester United's Wayne Rooney.
Le Tissier told the Daily Mail: "There has been a lot of debate about whether he should have gone to the World Cup but the experience will have done him no harm at all, even though he didn't kick a ball.
"I trained with the lad last season at Southampton for two or three weeks. In all the years I played there was never anything I saw on a training pitch that took my breath away, but he was doing things on the pitch that made me stand up and say 'Wow'.
"He could go on and make a better player than Wayne Rooney."
