Slowly making his return to football after injury, many are asking whether England’s Theo Walcott will fly to South Africa with the National team this summer. Team-mate Emmanuel Eboue believes the 20-year old can do it, adding how if he keeps on working hard, he can become the best player in England.

Eboue said:

If Walcott works hard, he can become the best player in England. He is very young but he is playing for his place in the England team so he must work hard. If he continues to play like he is now then he can go to the World Cup.

Meanwhile, manager Arsene Wenger was a little bit more cautious on the development of Walcott, saying how the player is constantly under heavy pressure by the media, who always speculate on his inclusion in the World Cup squad.

Speaking to the Gunners’ official website, Wenger said:

The World Cup is not today – it is in June. The problem is that everyone has the national team in their mind and… you want everybody to be on top today. It’s terrible pressure. But that’s the modern media.
