Welbeck to Russia? Arsenal ace backed for World Cup spot
Published:
Danny Welbeck’s chances of making England’s World Cup squad have never looked stronger, according to our odds.
The Arsenal ace is in a vein of form right now and that’s led to punters backing him to book a spot on Gareth Southgate’s plane to Russia.
And having once been as big as 7/5, the bookies now make it just 1/2 he finds himself in the 23-man squad.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Welbeck is finding form at just the right time if he’s to make a late push for an England place – and that’s exactly what punters are expecting him to do.”
Welbeck scored a crucial goal in Arsenal’s Europa League tie away at CSKA Moscow last night, following a two-goal haul in the win over Southampton last Sunday.
