World Champion sprinter: I’d leave Arsenal pair in my dust

World indoor champion sprinter Richard Kilty has challenged Arsenal pair Héctor Bellerín and Theo Walcott to a race - any distance, any time and anywhere...

If the British sprinter seems a tad riled it's because he is. Reports suggest that Bellerín has overtaken Walcott as the fastest man at Arsenal over 40 metres. https://twitter.com/MailSport/status/587668016185405440 The right-back supposedly ran the distance in 4.42 seconds - which is quicker than Usain Bolt managed when he broke the 100m world record in 2009. https://twitter.com/RKilty1/status/587953050775617536 https://twitter.com/RKilty1/status/587954639045320704 Kilty isn't happy with such comparisons and has challenged both Bellerín and Walcott to a foot race in order to shut the media up with their silly comparisons. The 25-year-old is so confident that he could easily skin the pair that he's willing to lay down a £30,000 wager, which both footballers earn in approximately 4.42 seconds... https://twitter.com/RKilty1/status/587955543236567041
