England boss Roy Hodgson is encouraged by Danny Welbeck's move to Arsenal, feeling that the forward would get more game time and that would benefit England. "When you're a player of his calibre and you find yourself at United, where competition for places means you don't always get the starts you like, it's good for him to now get the chance of more starts and playing time.
"It's not easy for players who don't get a lot of playing time for their clubs, or subs playing only a small part in games, to come away and play 90 minutes for England. I'm pleased for him. I select him all the time, so I think that Arsenal have signed a good player.
"I cannot deny the more they play and the more experience they get, especially in the Champions League, the better it is for me."
