Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, admits 'not expecting' Theo Walcott to break the world record he did

The Gunners winger wrote his name into the Guinness Book of Records on Wednesday

On Wednesday morning, Theo Walcott broke a world record.
The Arsenal winger officially set a new record for the 'Highest altitude football is dropped and controlled'.
Walcott managed to control a ball from a 34m drop and keep it alive (in the air) a further four times. The previous record was 32m.
And in his West Ham vs Arsenal pre-match press conference, Wenger was asked about his number 14's new record.
When asked if it surprised him, Wenger said: "No. But it was not necessarily for what I expected him to be a world record holder for."
"To beat the distance with the crane you need a super touch."
Wenger added: "He has great focus and capacity."

"Of course, he is more well known for his pace, the quality of his runs, the quality of his finishing and less for the technical skill."
"But it shows that he has that in his locker."
