(Reuters) - Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck has been motivated by the competition for first team action with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette but believes he can also fill the void left in the lineup by Henrikh Mkhitaryan's injury. Welbeck enjoyed a productive outing in Arsenal's 3-2 Premier League win over Southampton on Sunday, scoring two goals and earning praise from manager Arsene Wenger for showing signs of his best form following three injury-hit seasons. "As you've seen, I can play with Pierre and with Laca," Welbeck told British media. The competition is there so you are going to improve and better yourself. Hopefully, he is available as soon as possible, but it is the manager's decision who he wants in the team," Welbeck added.
