  • Walcott revival gives Arsenal a Euro boost

    Out of favour with Arsenal and exiled by England, Theo Walcott reached a crossroads at the end of last season and his emphatic response looks to have saved a career in danger of imploding. Walcott started only one of Arsenal's final 14 matches last term and lost his place in Roy Hodgson's England squad at the end of a miserable campaign that appeared to shatter the winger's dreams of ever cementing himself as a key figure for club or country. Now, just months later, ahead of Wednesday's Champions League group fixture against Swiss side Basel, he has reestablished himself as one of Arsenal's main men thanks to a desperate close-season bid for redemption.

  • Philippines' Duterte pivots to China, Russia as investors flee
