Jack Wilshere says new signing Danny Welbeck will be a “great addition”
to Arsenal and is backing the former Manchester United strikerto be a
success at the Emirates Stadium. The England international completed a
€20 million move to north London on deadline day with the Gunners keen
to bring in a replacement for the injured Olivier Giroud. Welbeck is
currently on international duty, alongside Wilshere with England, and
the midfielder says his new club-matehas the quality to succeed at
Arsenal. “He is a great addition for Arsenal and hopefully he will keep
performing for England as well,” Wilshere told reporters. “He has got
great enthusiasm, he wants to run, he will track back, and he has got
great quality. “A lot of people don’t give him credit for his technical
ability, but he is great on the ball. I am sure there were a few clubs
wanting him and there are not many players his age who move from one big
club to another big club so that shows his quality.” Wilshere also
feels he needs to impress this season and says that after a good
pre-season he is in excellent shape. “It is a big season for me, I have
never hidden away from that,” Wilshere said. “I have had a good
pre-season for the first time in a few years, I have trained every
session, played in all but one of the games. I feel good, I am getting
stronger and stronger, I am getting near to where I want to be.” England
face Switzerland in Euro 2016 qualifying on Monday, following their
underwhelming win over Norway, and Wilshere wants to get the fans back
on side. “Going over to Switzerland is a tough game but we know if we
put in the performance and get the result the fans are going to come
back on our side,” he added. “If people analysed it a bit more they
would have been a bit kinder, there were just a few individual errors
and a few lapses in concentration – but at that level that is what you
are going to get.”
