Arsenal striker Robin van Persie thanks teammate Theo Walcott for assisting many of his goals this year.

Striker Robin van Persie has hailed the influence of teammate Theo Walcott on his goalscoring form for Arsenal.

The Dutchman, who has scored 29 goals in 28 games this calendar year, has said that he has the winger to thank for many of the strikes.

"After every single goal, people ask me, 'Who gave the assist?' I just say, 'Who do you think?' We have that connection. I know what he is going to do, which is very important," Van Persie told The Mirror.

"It's vital to have a player around me, as a striker, who knows where I move, how I move, do I want the ball into feet, do I want it behind. He knows where to find me. Stuff like that is vital."

The Gunners travel to Norwich City this Saturday.
