Danny Welbeck | Manchester United & England

Arsenal pair Alexandre Lacazette and Danny Welbeck have surprisingly emerged as transfer targets for Bayern Munich for the January transfer window. The Bavarian giants are on the search for a new marksman, who could reduce the burden on Poland international Robert Lewandowski.

The German champions have started off their league campaign in a reasonably good fashion, but recent injuries to both Lewandowski and Thomas Muller have reduced their options in the attack. The duo are currently recovering from hamstring injuries of their own, and according to Bild, Lacazette and Welbeck have been identified as suitable options to bolster their strike force.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has confirmed Danny Welbeck will play no part for the Gunners this month after he suffered a groin injury in the goalless draw at Chelsea last weekend.

The England international has suffered multiple knee injuries during his short spell with the Gunners, and the latest setback is likely to keep him out until after the international break.

Speaking prior to the Doncaster Rovers game in the League Cup, Wenger confirmed that Welbeck would certainly be out for the rest of the month with a scan likely to reveal the extent of the problem, he said: "Danny has a scan today. We don't know how bad his groin injury is but he will certainly be out until the international break."

Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck has spoken about the feeling of wearing the England shirt as he recuperates from his latest injury.

Welbeck has struggled with multiple knee injuries during his three-year spell at Arsenal, and this has cost him valuable gametime for both club and country.

Speaking on Dugout.com, Welbeck revealed his passion at wearing the national team shirt, he said: "Once you put on the England shirt…it’s a special moment for you. Obviously, at such a young age all you really think about is playing football with your mates and stuff like that and then (with England) it’s a special and proud moment and something that you’ll never forget. So every time you pull on that shirt you know what that feeling is and you just want to do the best for yourself and everyone around you that’s close and for the whole country."

Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck says that he is looking forward to a potential partnership with new signing Alexandre Lacazette in the starting line-up.

The arrival of the French striker is a wide sign that the club may be prepared to part company with Olivier Giroud, who has had an up-and-down time at Arsenal since coming from Montpellier a couple of seasons ago. Alexandre Lacazette manager to make an instant impression after scoring just a few seconds into his debut against Leicester City. The signing of the Frenchman for around £ 46 million has also been done so as to not be entirely dependent on Danny Welbeck, who has suffered from numerous injury issues over the last couple of seasons.

In the summer, the focus at Arsenal was on two strikers. While Alexandre Lacazette made his way to the club from Lyon in a bumper deal worth over £45 million, questions over Alexis Sanchez’s future persisted. Those questions have continued since the start of the campaign with the Chilean on the fringes of the squad as Lacazette started his Arsenal career with two goals in his opening four league games.

Quiet Man

While the tale of two forwards was being played out, Danny Welbeck went quietly about his business, getting on with the job of scoring important goals. With three strikes in those same four games, the England international is the club’s leading scorer and is in good touch ahead of Arsenal’s European campaign.

Premier League giants Arsenal are expected to lodge a renewed bid to sign AS Monaco attacker Thomas Lemar this summer.

The Gunners have maintained their interest in the France international over the past month despite Monaco insisting that the player is not for sale. According to The Mail, the north London club will table a fourth bid for the highly-rated winger after they initial offers worth £35m, £40m and £45m were knocked back by the French champions.

Premier League side Everton are sticking with the Arsenal team in their search for a new talisman. After losing striker Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United this summer, the Ronald Koeman side turned their focus on Olivier Giroud.

With Arsenal keen on retaining the Frenchman, Everton have reportedly turned the spotlight onto another Gunners forward - Danny Welbeck. Giroud wants regular game time ahead of the World Cup next year as he hopes to retain his spot in the France national team. He is watching to see if Wenger has him in his plans following the arrival of Alexandre Lacazette. If he senses that he might not get enough game time, then he might consider the move to Goodison Park or any other top side.

Arsenal are considering a move for Nice star Jean Michael Seri as the deal for Monaco winger Thomas Lemar stalls, according to reports. The Ligue 1 side are hoping to qualify for the Champions League and this would determine if they would the player leave.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is struggling to get buyers for several players this summer to free up space and funds and Monaco are not open to allowing the deal for Lemar. The club feels making a move for Michael Seri is the right one but they have to battle Spurs who are also interested.

Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck is hoping for an injury-free campaign in the Gunners shirt after having face twin injury setbacks over the past three years.

The England international joined the Gunners from Manchester United back in the summer of 2014, and he looked to be progressing into a top-class prospect until a string of knee injuries restricted his playing time.

Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck has expressed his desire to watch Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain playing at the heart of the midfield.

The England international has watched his compatriot feature in different positions last term, but his performances have never dipped below the manager’s expectations. Oxlade-Chamberlain started the season as a right-sided winger before he was drifted into a central midfield role. He was later on transformed into a right wing-back after manager Arsene Wenger chose to utilise a new look 3-4-2-1 formation in the final months of the season.
