Arsenal signed Danny Welbeck for £16m on the deadline day.

Paul Scholes said,

“Naturally, I was sad, as a United fan, to see Welbeck leave this week,”

“My feeling was that if he could have got through this transfer window and stayed at the club he could have been a part of United’s future over the next few years”

“It shows how highly regarded Danny is that a club as big as Arsenal signed him. He will be a good signing for Arsène Wenger,”

“Danny will never be a 20-25 goals-a-season man but he could get Arsenal 10 to 15.”

On the other hand, Danny Welbeck seems to very happy about joining Arsenal.

In his first interview as a gunner, he revealed,

It’s exciting times for me. It’s great to be a part of this club and it’s a team that I’ve always watched in the Premier League. I’ve envisaged myself playing in this team before. For it to finally happen is very exciting.”
