Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck is undergoing a medical atArsenal ahead of a proposed transfer, according to Sky Sports sources.
The 23-year-old appears set to be given the opportunity to leave Old Trafford as manager Louis van Gaal continues to build a squad he feels can challenge for honors. Arsenal's north London rivals Tottenham were also believed to be keen on a move for Welbeck, who has scored 20 goals in 92 Barclays Premier League appearances, but the Manchester-born striker is now in talks with Arsenal.
However, it remains to be seen if a deal can be agreed and whether he would join on a permanent basis or on a season-long loan. Welbeck has appeared as a substitute in two of United's league games so far this season - draws at both Sunderland and Burnley - and started in the remarkable 4-0 Capital Cup exit at the hands of MK Dons.
Having come through the ranks at Old Trafford, Welbeck has also spent time out on loan at Preston and with the Black Cats before establishing himself in Sir Alex Ferguson's first-team squad.
Welbeck has scored eight goals in 26 England caps and has lifted the Barclays Premier League trophy and the League Cup during his time with theRed Devils.
Now he could be set to become Arsenal's fifth summer signing following the arrivals of Alexis Sanchez, Mathieu Debuchy, David Ospina and Calum Chambers and would add to Arsene Wenger's options in attack - with Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud both sidelined with injuries.
