According to Walcott, he admitted that he was worried about the decision to not sign a contract with Arsenal's Liam Delap before Chelsea this summer.
Liam Delap impressed his first full season in the Premier League when he scored 12 goals for Ipswich Town, but he could not help his team relegation successfully. The 22 -year -old has attracted the attention of many teams, because his contract release fee was only £ 30 million when Ipswich Town relegated.
MU had negotiations to sign a contract with Delap, but Chelsea was the team that won the race to win the former Man City striker. Meanwhile, Arsenal is also looking for a new striker and has negotiated to sign a contract with Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko.

According to Walcott criticized Arsenal for ignoring Liam Delap. |
But according to Walcott, Arsenal should participate in the race with Chelsea and MU to win the signature of Delap, he told The Athletic: “I know Arsenal need a striker, Liam Delap is a good striker, he will be the successor to Harry Kane in England.
As an Arsenal fan, I feel disappointed if you don't pursue such a person. You can see his spirit and strength, he doesn't care about which team he will fight, he always tries his best for the team.
He was still young and could continue to grow, he only had a release fee of £ 30 million, so I was disappointed when Arsenal did not recruit him. ”
