He may now be retired, but Theo Walcott is back in the thick of a pre-season tour once again - relieved that his boots are well and truly hung up, rather than being used for never-ending laps of a training pitch.

The Gunners legend is following the team on their three-game tour of the USA as a club ambassador alongside former teammate Gilberto, and is enjoying his first full summer off in over two decades. Having embarked on a family road trip down the west coast of the country, he is now in Los Angeles ready to see what the current incumbents of the red and white jerseys can do over the coming days.
