Manchester United forward Danny Welbeck is being offloaded from the team's roster-the Premier League team demanded £5 million as a minimum for a season loan.

The striker decided to sign with Arsenal for £16m.

"The arrival of Welbeck offers a pacy alternative to boost a forward line that has looked underpowered while Alexis Sánchez adapts to a new role in English football and Yaya Sanogo ineffectively fills in for the injured Olivier Giroud," The Guardian writes in a review of the transfer.

"Arsenal's supporters had made their feelings clear after watching attacks fizzle out at Leicester on Sunday, with entreaties to sign a striker. That player turned out to be the 23-year-old Welbeck, who it is hoped will emulate the renaissance experienced by Daniel Sturridge when he left the Chelsea periphery for a central role and the responsibility he relishes at Liverpool."

The Manchester United forward is also a member of England's national football team. Premier League transfer news developments continue as deadline day approaches.
