Van Persie backs team-mate to shineArsenal striker Robin van Persie thinks Theo Walcott will come of age in the Premiership this season.
Van Persie told the club's website: "I have been practising with Theo since June 18 and I can assure you that he is up for it big time,"
"When we were doing tests over the summer it was very hard. We were running every day with the fitness coach and I could see it in his face he was really going for it."
"Theo is a young man - but he has big, big ambitions for himself to show his qualities,"
"His ambition is one of the biggest things about him. He is just 18, but I see in him a big, big desire achieve his goals."
