With the U21 European championship in Sweden soon to be under way, its time to concentrate on players for the future and with South Africa 2010 just around the corner we take a look at a few Isaac Bruce Jersey exceptional youngsters to see who could be the shock inclusion of the 2010 World Cup Squad.Name: Danny WelbeckClub: Manchester UnitedAge: 18Position: ForwardHeight: 6ft 1Alex Ferguson has already boldly predicted Welbeck will taken by Fabio Capello to South Africa. Netting 3 goals in 13 appearances so far in his United career, Welbeck has been a willing contributor from the bench. With searing pace and an eye for goal, Welbeck could be a great alternative coming off the bench.Name: Jack WilshireClub: ArsenalAge: 17Position: MidfieldHeight: 5ft 7Having been with Arsenal since the age of 9, Wilshire is a true product of one of the top youth systems in World football, and in a squad full to the brim of promising young talent. As with most of Arsenals youngsters, his chances have mainly come in the Carling Cup where he scored his first goal for Arsenal against Sheffield United. Wenger has already voiced his opinion that Wilshire could emulate Dennis Bergkamp and play in a similar attacking role Justin Hollins Jersey to the Dutch legend. Should Capello want freshne s, and youthful enthusiasm, baby-faced Wilshire could be a contender.Name: Michael MancienneClub: ChelseaAge: 21Position: DefenceHeight: 6ftHaving already been called up to the full England squad for the friendly against Germany, Mancienne has obviously made a strong impre sion on manager Fabio Capello. Although only having made 4 appearances for Chelsea so far, Mancienne has gained valuable experience on loan at QPR and Wolves and should be in contention for a J.J. Koski Jersey regular place on Chelseas bench next season. The versatility that Mancienne has is certainly something Capello will look for when considering World Cup squads, especially with our current lack of healthy right-backs being a concern for the Italian mastermind.Name: Dan GoslingClub: EvertonAge: 19Position: MidfieldHeight: 5ft 10Goslings 118th minute goal against Liverpool in the FA Cup, although barely seen around the country due to the error by ITV, was voted by the Everton fans as their Goal of the Season. A versatile midfielder, Gosling has notched up 2 goals in 11 games for Everton and impre sed each Jonah Williams Jersey time he took the field. Gosling will have to fight for his chance to start for Moyes but its just that kind of competition that could encourage Gosling to thrive and improve further.Name: Joe LewisClub: Peterborough UnitedAge: 21Position: GoalkeeperHeight: 6ft 6Although fairly unknown to people outside the Premier League, Joe Lewis (like Mancienne), has already been included in the full England squad. Just over a year ago for friendly Grant Haley Jersey games against the USA and Trinidad & Tobago, Lewis was an un-used sub and failed to make an appearance in either game. Currently playing for Peterborough United, Lewis has an advantage that many other young English Premier League keepers competing for a spot in the national team dont game time. With Joe Hart and Ben Alnwick struggling to get starts between the sticks, Lewis made 46 starts for Posh last season. Lewis has an impre sive physical presence and will be battling hard for the number 1 jersey in these summers U21 Euros in Sweden.(c)Oliver McGrath & BlogsFc
