Arsenal are the most successful FA Cup competition after recording its 12th Victory today and Walcott now eyes on PL title next season.
"[We are] very close [to winning the title]. We just need to start well. I've been here for a long time and this is one of the best squads I've been part of," he told BBC Sport.
"We should be achieving much more. That's two FA Cups, Premier League is the next big target."
Arsene Wenger opted to start Walcott ahead of Giroud for the final and the attacker has thanked his manager for keeping faith in him.
"It's amazing. Any win is fantastic. The manner we did it today was great. We played great football, kept a clean sheet," he added.
"We always knew if we kept a clean sheet we'd score goals and win the game. I've got to thank the manager for having the faith in picking me and repaying him but this team is blessed. It's got to be many more next year.
"I missed this. I was at home, on FaceTime. To be part of this today is a dream. My family's here. I've worked so hard like the staff and the players. I want to thank the physios and everyone's that looked after me but this is massive for me."
