The Gunners are currently at the top of the Premier League table but Theo Walcott has not been able to unleash his pace on field.
 
But off field his has scored!
 
The Arsenal striker, who has missed most of the season so far through injury, is going to be father for the first time.
 
Theo Walcott and his wife Mel have announced that they are expecting their first child.
 
The couple said in a statement: 'We are both very excited at such happy news just a few months after getting married. We are really looking forward to becoming parents.'
 
The 24-year-old England football player married Mel, his childhood sweetheart, in June at Castello di Vincigliata, near Florence in Italy.
 
The couple tied the knot following nine years of dating after meeting at the WestQuay shopping centre in Southampton - when he was playing for the seaside town's youth team.
 
It is likely Walcott will be in Brazil for the 2014 World Cup, which kicks off on June 12, around the time his child is due in the summer.
 
Walcott joins his team mate Jack Wilshere in fatherhood who welcomed new baby daughter Delilah Grace in September this year.
 
The Gunners seems to have taken the lead from their more famous Barcelona rivals Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique and Cesc Fabregas.
 
Lionel Messi's girlfriend, Antonella Roccuzzo, gave birth to a baby boy Thiago in November 2012. Like Wilshere Messi took to social media to announce the birth of his first born. "Today I am the happiest man in the world, my son was born and thanks to God for this gift!”
 
In January 2013 Barcelona defender Gerard Pique joined Messi to become a father for the first time. Milan Pique Mebarak is the Spain international's first child with his girlfriend of two years, pop star Shakira.
 
Former Arsenal man, Cesc Fabregas, became a father for the first time when his girlfriend Daniella Semaan gave birth to a baby girl Lia in April 2013.
