Who are ya? Who are ya?? who are ya??!!

Ok shut up now.

Sorry. Who is he then?

The most exciting teen prodigy to emerge from Southampton since Craig David. Arsenal signed him from his hometown club back in January. He has no international caps and zilch premiership experience. But he does have a few GCSEs though.

So you're saying he could make his England debut before he makes his first top-league club appearance?

Exactly. And he would be the first person to do so. Not even Michael Owen or Wayne Rooney achieved that.

Riighht…so exactly why has Sven picked him for the World Cup squad this summer?

He obviously believes that he could be the next Pele: an unknown quantity read to make a major impact on this summer’s World Cup. Sven admits it’s a gamble but one he's willing to take.

Speaking of Rooney and Owen, neither of those two are fully fit. Are we going to see a front two of Crouch and Walcott?! Sounds like a joke!

Perhaps so – Jermain Defoe who has missed out on previous England squads will be gutted as will the Premiership’s top goalscorer, Darren Bent. Still, at least now you can’t accuse Sven of picking a boring squad ...

OK, we can give him that, but what has Theo achieved so far in his career?

Err ... 13 first team starts and 10 substitutes appearances ... and record transfer for a 16 year old to the prospective new European Champions, Arsenal. It’s not every day that Arsene Wenger spends 12 million on a teenager.

It’s not everyday Arsene Wenger signs an Englishman. What does he say about the boy?

"Wayne Rooney has achieved a lot, and I want to be cautious with comparisons. But he has the same ingredients at the same age to be a big prospect for England."

Any interesting facts about Theo?

He only began playing football at the surprisingly late age of 10: Sven Goran Eriksson became England manager when Theo was 11.
