Welbeck Undergoing Arsenal Medical After Gunners Hijack Tottenham’s Move

Transfer deadline day has arrived and managers are desperately trying to tie-up those last minute deals, so we’ll bring you all the latest news and gossip. Today,

Manchester United forward Danny Welbeck is undergoing a medical at Arsenal’s London Colney training base with the Gunners set to beat Tottenham to his signature, according to reports.

With United on the verge of signing Radamel Falcao from Monaco, it seems Welbeck has been told he’s free to leave Old Trafford and reports claim the England ace has snubbed interest from Tottenham and chosen to join North London rivals Arsenal instead.

Sky Sports News are claiming that Welbeck is currently undergoing a medical at Arsenal’s London Colney training base, where he’s been training with the rest of the England squad today ahead of Wednesday’s friendly with Norway.

It’s understood the 23-year-old will join the Gunners on a one-year loan deal, even though United would have preferred to do business with Spurs, but Welbeck wanted Arsenal and the two clubs have supposedly agreed a £6m loan fee.

Arsene Wenger has been on the look out for a striker after Olivier Giroud was ruled out for four months with a broken tibia and it appears the Frenchman has chosen to bring in a player with Premier League experience and is able to hit the ground running.
