Arsenal star Danny Welbeck may be sidelined due to injury currently but on Wednesday afternoon at the Dubai's Sevens grounds, the striker was in his elements.
Dodging tricky questions by seven and eight-year-old aspiring Arsenal stars at the club's soccer school just as he wriggled past the Swedes in the box for his now famous back heel winner for England in Euro 2012, Welbeck seemed to enjoy his time out.
"That remains my most famous goal," he gleamed while describing his 'most famous' career goal in response to a question by a young Arsenal trainee while managing to smile through some serious queries like "Emery or Wenger?", "Ronaldo or Messi?", "Arsenal or Manchester United?".

"As a kid, growing up and watching Premier League players on TV was always inspiring. It's great to be here for a couple of days and visit the soccer school. It's a nice little treat and something I enjoy doing," said Welbeck, who is recuperating from a second ankle surgery after being carried off midway through the first half of Arsenal's Europa League draw against Sporting Lisbon last October.
