After a long and tedious transfer deadline day, England international Danny Welbeck has signed for the Arsenal from Manchester United on a 5 year long deal. Arsenal had to ask the FA for an extension on deadline day to get the deal over the line.

He joins Arsenal for an undisclosed amount rumoured to be around the £16 million region. Welbeck joins Wilshere, Gibbs, Chambers, Walcott, Ramsey and Oxlade-Chamberlain to build on Arsenal British core.

Welbeck has been on the fringes at Manchester United with Robin van Persie,Wayne Rooney and, most recently, Radamel Falcao all ahead of him in the pecking order but because of Olivier Giroud being out till the new year, it is expected that Danny Welbeck will lead the line for Arsenal.

The 23 year old made a total of 90 appearances for Manchester United, scoring 20 goals. He also holds 25 England caps.

A bit of an underwhelming signing according to some because of the names Arsenal have recently been linked with but he does bring with him a great deal of experience both in the domestic league and the Champions League as well and at 23 years of age, he has plenty of time to develop into a great forward for Arsenal Football Club
