Theo on what he can offer England

Theo Walcott has spoken about his chances of making Fabio Capello's England squad this summer.

The 21-year-old faces some stiff competition on the wings for England, but is confident he can add something to the team.

The Arsenal winger has struggled to make an impact on the first-team at the Emirates this season, but hopes he can improve his form in time for the end of the season.

He said: "I have not played much this season and I feel fresh, so hopefully the more games I get to play, the better I will be and I will get to be on the plane.

"The World Cup is the biggest dream of all for every boy - everyone dreams of a 1966 moment, at least I know I do.

"Hopefully we can make it another one. We believe we can win it and we will do everything to bring the World Cup back home - it has been too long."

Walcott has been criticised for lacking an end product, and the man himself knows he has to work on that side of his game.

He explained: "The thing about being a winger is that it is the end product which matters - you can do everything right, dribble past people and beat your men, but just not get a final ball in.

"Players like David Bentley and James Milner have that end product and hopefully I am showing that in my own game a little more.

"Sometimes people think I do not realise that it is quite hard to pick people out when you are running so quickly - I just try to put the ball into the space, and if players are getting into the box then it works even better."
