England striker Danny Welbeck admits competiton for places

Welbeck delighted with strength in depth

England forward Danny Welbeck is relishing the competition for places as Euro 2012 looms large.

Welbeck scored his first England goal against Belgium to stake his claim for a starting role against France in the Group D opener on June 11.

The Manchester United striker said: "We've got an array of talent across the whole squad and I think everybody's just pushing forward to get on the pitch and show what they can do. And that's only good for England."

Welbeck has every chance of playing a major role for the Three Lions in the absence of Wayne Rooney and will be full of confidence after scoring the winning goal against Belgium.
