Theo Walcott insists Arsenal starlet Ethan Nwaneri is not ready to start against Tottenham Hotspur

Arsenal will be without midfielder and captain Martin Odegaard for their trip to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday after he twisted his ankle on Monday night.

Manager Mikel Arteta has a selection headache ahead of the North London derby, and there are suggestions Ethan Nwaneri could be an option to start in the place of the Norwegian in the middle of the park.

However, former Arsenal star Theo Walcott does not think that is a good idea, insisting the 17-year-old Hale End academy graduate is not ready to start in such a high-profile match.
