Van Persie simply the best, says Walcott

Theo Walcott is convinced that Robin van Persie is the best striker in the Barclays Premier League.

Van Persie has been in excellent form this season, almost single-handedly dragging the Gunners back into the race for the Champions League by scoring 33 goals in 38 matches.

Despite playing almost every game, Van Persie has remained injury-free this term — a scenario he could have only wished for in previous years.
