Former Arsenal forward, Theo Walcott, has said that England forward Marcus Rashford is the player he is most excited to watch at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
He believes Rashford will play a major part for England at the World Cup after his outstanding loan season at Barcelona.
“Rashford this year has been outstanding. I have watched him quite a lot,” Walcott told the BBC.
“It’s been great for him. He would be a dead cert to start for me.
“The way he’s played, that freedom, that enjoyment. We want to see that smile. Rashford’s going to be a major part of this tournament.
“I’m looking forward to watching him. Out of all the players, I’m most psyched about him. I think he’s brave to go abroad – it’s great when English players go.”
