Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that Thierry Henry advises Theo Walcott on how to play as a centre-forward.
The New York Red Bulls striker is currently training with his former club as the MLS is in its off-season.
"[Walcott] has played two games [through the middle] and you have to be open-minded in our job and give people a chance," Wenger told the club's official website.
"If they take it, it's good. If [not], he will still be a fantastic winger so it puts some more assets in his game. He will learn something in his position and I am confident he will do well in that position. It's a bit early to compare him to Thierry Henry.
"Yes, [Henry] gives him advice. It's always important. Theo is a very intelligent boy. He understands very quickly when you tell him something and that's why I think he can do very well in this position."
Arsenal host Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday.
