Danny Welbeck transfer signals English empire at Arsenal

On the deadline day, Arsenal acquired the services of Danny Welbeck for a reported fee of £16M from Manchester United. The Englishman is expected to stand in for the injured Giroud.

Welbeck’s signing was one of the least expected transfers to take place. However, with the pressure mounting on Wenger to sign a striker, the addition of Welbeck will boost that position.

The signing of Welbeck signals the buildup of an ‘English Empire’ at Emirates. He joins fellow Englishmen like Chambers, Walcott, Ox, Jekinson, Wilshere and Gibbs. It is not surprising as sometimes back Wenger said he will hold the future of the England team.
