The call for Danny Welbeck’s return to the England squad as short as three years ago would have sounded totally ludicrous, yet today it seems a real possibility. The Brighton striker is less than a month off from his 35th birthday, but as the adage goes, age is just a number.

Currently sitting joint-second in the Premier League golden boot race, behind Erling Haaland in a league of his own, Welbeck has flown out the gates at the start of this season, bagging six goals in his last five appearances, continuing his already impressive form off the back of last campaign’s career high of 10.
