According to the Express, Everton are the favourites to sign Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck this summer. The report claims that the Merseysider’s are prepared to hand the 28-year-old a contract worth around £100,000 per-week this summer.

Welbeck is of course out of contract with the Gunners this summer and will leave the club on a free transfer.

Endured an injury-hit stint at Arsenal

Danny Welbeck’s Arsenal career has been injury plagued. The England international has spent five years with the north London club but has never really managed to nail down a regular starting spot at the club.  .......Read more here.....

Danny Welbeck’s contract with Arsenal expires at the end of next month and he will not be offered a new one, manager Unai Emery has confirmed. The striker was given a Guard of Honor alongside Aaron Ramsey, who is set to join Juventus, in Arsenal’s last home game of the season.

Welbeck joined Arsenal from Manchester United in 2014. Since then he wore the club shirt 126 times and scored 32 goals – definitely not a great output for an attacking player.  .......Read more here.....

According to the Metro and one of my colleagues, Arsenal’s injury-prone striker Danny Welbeck could still sign a contract extension with the north London club.

The 28-year-old is likely to miss the rest of the campaign due to an ankle injury picked up in November in the Europa League. With his contract expiring this summer and seemingly no talks taking place, it seemed that the forward would become a free agent this summer.  .......Read more here.....

Danny Welbeck hasn’t played for Arsenal since he broke his ankle in the Europa League showdown with Sporting Lisbon back in November. The injury required two separate surgery procedures, but it seems the forward is now properly on the mend. There is no chance for him to feature in competitive games this season, but he is expected back in team training in the last weeks of the campaign, according to manager Unai Emery. The boss also revealed that the forward would sit down with the club management to discuss his future after that.  .......Read more here.....

We’d argue that there are several players in the ranks of the Arsenal squad that divide public opinion, and there are some fans out there who would happily suggest that the figure is higher than that. There are a multitude of reasons as to why a player wouldn’t be universally liked, and we aren’t going to pretend like we understand all of them. What we are going to do, however, is stick up for one player that we believe has a lot left to offer Arsenal Football Club.  .......Read more here.....

The recovery of Danny Welbeck seems to be going very well. As Sky Sports claim, the forward has returned to Arsenal’s London Colney training base as the next phase of his rehabilitation begins.

Welback suffered a broken ankle back in November, in Arsenal’s 0-0 Europa League draw against Sporting Lisbon. He tried to take advantage of a cross by Stephan Lichtsteiner. He landed very awkwardly and it was immediately clear things were far from right as he stayed on the ground, notably in significant pain. The medical staff applied an oxygen mask as they stretchered him off the pitch. The ankle breaking was soon confirmed by the club.  .......Read more here.....

It’s not exactly easy to recover from an injury, especially in the realms of professional football. It’s the kind of sport that demands you to be in a ‘go go go’ state of mind, pretty much 24/7. If there’s ever anything that gets in the way of that, like an injury, then it can cause a multitude of problems for fans, media members and the player themselves. That sounds ridiculous, but such is the nature of this game we know and love.  .......Read more here.....

Danny Welbeck is an intriguing figure and we mean that in the nicest way possible. He was always being groomed for the top of the mountain in English football, and contrary to popular belief, we think he’s lived up to the hype. While there have certainly been a few stumbles along the way, the same can be said of many top stars who are now enjoying great success on a European and world stage. We aren’t about to suggest that he’s the second coming of Henry or anything like that, but you get our point.  .......Read more here.....

Arsenal have sounded out Lille’s Nicolas Pepe as the preferred option to replace Danny Welbeck, according to Gary Jacob of The Times.

Welbeck’s End

Welbeck suffered a broken ankle in Arsenal’s Europa League goalless draw at home against Sporting Lisbon, and he isn’t very likely to play for the club ever again. The forward has undergone two surgery procedures and his way back to the pitch is expected to be a long one, and with his current deal expiring at the end of the season, he most likely won’t be offered a new one.  .......Read more here.....

One of the worst things you could possibly have to deal with in this sport, as a player and as a fan, is a big injury. That’s the card Arsenal supporters have been given with Danny Welbeck and while there are a series of other ‘big’ stars in the squad that would probably have been viewed as more important than the Englishman, but that doesn’t erase the fact that he was on a great run of form and deserves to have seen out the remainder of the campaign.  .......Read more here.....
