32. Theo Walcott

Theo completed his move to Arsenal on January 20, 2006 to become the Gunners’ third signing of the transfer window.

The 16-year-old England youth international burst on to the first-team scene with Championship side Southampton this term, and at the time of his departure from St. Mary’s, was the Club’s joint leading scorer with five goals from just 13 starts.

The pacy winger can also operate as a striker and scored on his Reserve team debut against Portsmouth in February. Theo will wear the No 32 shirt at Arsenal - the same number he wore at Southampton.
