Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes there is 'a lot more to come' from youngster Theo Walcott.
Walcott's development since he signed for the Gunners from Southampton in 2006 has been impressive.
The pacey winger, who turned 20 on Monday, returned to Wenger's starting XI at the weekend after a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a shoulder injury.
Wenger has been delighted with Walcott's progression, and has backed him to continue his rapid rise.
Asked about Walcott's impressive return to the starting line-up against Blackburn, the Frenchman said: "He made a very good start and he became stronger and stronger.
"He gives us something that is important as well when we play at home. He goes behind the defenders and creates room and he has a direct game. We need that, especially at home.
"It is important to have him back and he gives you something that can make a difference in any game.
"Compared to one year ago there is no comparison, which is what people sometimes have problems to accept. At that age, every three months you go higher up but how much, you can never predict.
"But there is still a lot more to come from Theo."
