Welbeck, a Manchester United academy graduate joined was signed by Arsene wenger in the summer of 2014 and has won two FA Cups with the London club.

Good deal?
According to talkSPORT Danny Welbeck will not be offered a new deal at Arsenal ,feel sorry for him that he's injured but loving this new ruthless streak Arsenal, we all know the previous manager would have give him a 3 year deal.

Not surprised…
Danny Welbeck leaving not a surprise
The development of Reiss Nelson in Germany, and with Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah coming through, it is tough to see where he will get his minutes

All hail Unai Emery…
Danny Welbeck being released by Arsenal in the summer. You have to admire Emery – the man means business. In his eyes, Welbeck isn't good enough to take @Arsenal where he wants to take them. He's ruthless, whereas Wenger would probably have given him a new deal #Welbeck pic.twitter.com/s9xrCIdiM1
