Fans have called for Danny Welbeck to be included in the next England squad after he continued his stunning form against Wolves.
The 33-year-old has been productive this season, scoring five goals in Brighton’s nine Premier League games before joining Gary O’Neil’s side, including two in his previous two against Tottenham and Newcastle.
Welbeck took his tally for the season to six with a clinical finish to put Brighton ahead at home to Wolves.
And fans have been full of praise for the ex-Manchester United and Arsenal striker, claiming his bright form has earned him a return to the England squad.
One posted on X: ‘Danny Welbeck in England calls for the form. Not many people would predict this kind of shape.’
