EPL: Walcott wants Welbeck to be more selfish

Arsenal and England forward Theo Wlacott has said that the club's new arrival from Manchester United Danny Welbeck has what it takes to succeed and be great at Arsenal but needs to be selfish.

Welbeck who joined Arsenal on transfer deadline day has not been prolific in terms of scoring but netted twice in England's recent outing in the Euro qualifiers.

 

According to reports on the club's website, Walcott made it clear that Welbeck's unselfishness sometimes cost him his own personal goal-scoring record.

 

''I’ve worked with Danny for England and we link up very well,'' Walcott told Arsenal Player. ''He’s another English guy and we’ve got a good English core now.

 

''He’s going to be better for us than he was at Man United, definitely. He’ll get more opportunities and he’s got a point to prove. I know he’s worked hard and he’s still very young, and I think the boss will enjoy working with him. The fans definitely will - he’s very exciting and he’s very strong.

 

''One thing I would tell him to do is be a little more selfish because he’s unselfish at times, which isn’t a bad thing but I think he’ll get more goals if he’s more selfish. I’m sure he’ll do well for us.''
