2. Danny Welbeck
The young boy has turned into a man. In just under a month the English centre forward has adapted to life at an unsteady Arsenal football club, where results haven’t gone the right way at the moment. In his short spell, he’s already netted a Champions League hat-trick against Turkish giants, Galatassary, whilst also grabbing himself a goal and assist in a 3-0 victory down the road at Villa Park.
What looked to be a last-minute panic signing on deadline day has is now proving to be one of Wenger’s brightest moves. His work rate off the ball is just as influential as his goal-mouth presence. He brings something the Gunners have lacked up top in recent years, pace, and with that has changed the whole dynamic of our set up when his names on the team sheet.
Fans have heaped praise on ‘Dat Guy Welbz’ as he’s commonly known, as shown in your online votes. Fresh Arsenal recently revealed the 23 year-old came out on top when selecting a first choice striker, picking up a resounding 80.7%, waving off competition from Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez.
Danny now has to focus on his consistency, he knows he’s got the likes of Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott breathing down his neck, which can only be a good thing in my eyes. We have a signing here whose peak years are ahead of him, adds to our British core, and changes our set up so we’re less predictable. I really hope if he hasn’t impressed you by now, then this blog will have at least opened your eyes.
