England boss Gareth Southgate named his World Cup squad on Wednesday afternoon.

As expected, the Three Lions manager has faced a lot of criticism for leaving out certain players, and taking a few fortunate ones.

Danny Welbeck has not exactly had the best of seasons for Arsenal - managing just five Premier League goals during the 2017-18 campaign.

The 27-year-old, who is on £70,000 a week at Arsenal, has a good scoring record for England, however, having managed 15 goals in his 37 appearances for the national team.

It was not a surprise to see Welbeck in Southgate's selection, and the former Manchester United youngster will be hoping to play his part in Russia this summer.

The Arsenal fans have not always been kind to Welbeck this season, and a number have been left surprised by his call-up to the national team.

That said, there are also plenty of supporters who feel that the forward more then deserves his spot alongside Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy and Marcus Rashford in the final third.
