Arsenal signing Welbeck: Transfer went down to wire

Arsenal signing Danny Welbeck admits his move from Manchester United went down to the wire.

Welbeck is excited about his switch to London.

He told arsenal.com: "It went right down to the wire in the end. It's difficult to say how I felt at the [different] times of each day because the deal was on and then it was off but at the end of the day I'm an Arsenal player and I couldn't be any happier at the moment."

Welbeck sees Arsenal as a team on the rise: "Yeah definitely. They've done well in recent years and last year we got the FA Cup and I feel like it's time where we could really push on and try and challenge for the Premier League title. I've got one medal and it's something that I really want to add to."
