Today, former Arsenal and England star “little tiger” Walcott announced his retirement, officially ending his 18-year career. Walcott started his career in Southampton, and he joined Arsenal in 2006. In the 12 seasons of playing for Arsenal, Walcott made 397 appearances on behalf of the team, scoring 108 goals and 80 assists, he won three FA Cup championships and two community shield cups with the Gunners. At the beginning of 2018, Walcott left Arsenal and joined Everton, then returned to Southampton in 2020. Last season, Walcott played 24 times on behalf of Southampton, contributing 2 goals and 2 assists. At the national team level, Walcott made 47 appearances on behalf of England, scored 8 goals and completed 8 assists.
It is worth mentioning that in 2006, Walcott, who was only 17 years old, was selected into the England World Cup list. He was only 17 years old and 74 days old when he made his debut in England, it can be said that Walcott was really expected by the whole English football world at the beginning! It is a pity that the “little tiger” has not fully fulfilled his talent due to the troubles of injured diseases and other factors. Anyway, for Arsenal and England fans, Walcott has left many unforgettable memories for the fans, wishing “little tiger” a good time after retirement!
