Theo Walcott playfully suggested he’d welcome a Tottenham Hotspur player to Arsenal after netting a crucial goal to bolster the Gunners’ title aspirations against Manchester City on Tuesday.
As Spurs fans brace for their penultimate match of the season against Manchester City in North London, emotions are sure to be a rollercoaster ride, with a blend of hope and apprehension in the air.
Ange Postecoglou’s team still has a shot at securing a top-four finish and a Champions League berth next year, but they must win their remaining two games to keep that dream alive.
Additionally, if Tottenham continues their impressive form at their new stadium against Manchester City, it would propel Arsenal to the top of the table heading into the season’s final day.
Theo Walcott playfully suggests that Arsenal would welcome Heung-min Son with open arms
Cesc Fabregas predicts that tonight’s game will determine the outcome of the title race, leading to tense anticipation. If any Tottenham player scores, it’s sure to create an uneasy atmosphere, potentially allowing Arsenal to inch closer to securing the trophy.
Chris Sutton’s remarks on The Monday Night Club sparked discussion about how scoring a goal for Arsenal could affect a Tottenham player’s standing with their own fans. In response, Theo Walcott expressed his desire for Heung-min Son to potentially play a pivotal role in Arsenal’s title chase.
“Maybe in years to come that particular player won’t be getting many after dinner events at their particular club,” Sutton said.
“Well, hopefully it’s Son because everyone loves a bit of Son. I’ll take him at Arsenal, he can score and then come to Arsenal – no problem,” Walcott replied.
The Tottenham squad has the opportunity to etch their names into Gunners folklore
While it’s highly improbable for a player of Son’s caliber to transfer from Tottenham to Arsenal, especially considering his £22 million valuation and esteemed position as the Spurs captain, he is undoubtedly destined to be remembered as one of their greatest Premier League stars.
Nonetheless, Theo Walcott’s remarks shed light on the peculiar scenario where the current Spurs squad has the potential to leave an indelible mark in Arsenal’s folklore, regardless of whether it’s viewed positively or negatively.
Undoubtedly, the destiny of the title depends on more than just this single match. However, it would undoubtedly add to the joy for Arsenal fans if Tottenham were to contribute to their title triumph.
From Spurs’ perspective, the perfect scenario would involve a victory on Tuesday to keep their top-four aspirations alive, followed by Arsenal faltering on the final day of the season.
