Arsenal to look for Welbeck’s replacement

Arsenal

head of football Raul Sanllehi has admitted that forward Danny Welbeck’s long-term injury could force the Premier League club to recruit in the January transfer window.

Welbeck, often used as a back-up striker by manager Unai Emery, underwent two operations after suffering a broken ankle against Sporting in the Europa League earlier this month. While Sanllehi agreed that Welbeck’s latest setback could give youngster Eddie Nketiah a chance to establish himself in the squad, he did not rule out the idea of venturing into the transfer market.
