Star forward set for shock Arsenal exit as Unai Emery looks to trim squad

It looks increasingly likely that Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck will be sold this summer, according to Jeremy Wilson of the Telegraph.

The England forward has just one year remaining on his contract at the Emirates but there seems to be little desire from the Gunners to offer him an extension and therefore, they look set to sell him this summer so they can get a fee for him.

With with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette firmly ahead of Welbeck in the pecking order at the Emirates, and with the likes of Henrikh Mkhitaryan more likely to feature in wide areas, the chances of Welbeck getting regular minutes look few and far between.

The striker joined Arsenal from Manchester United back in 2014 but has only managed to play in 112 games as he’s battled various injuries.

With Emery looking to change things up at Arsenal, it looks like he’s going to let Welbeck leave for pastures new.
