Welbeck delighted with Arsenal welcome

Danny Welbeck is delighted with the welcome he's been given by his new Arsenal teammates.

The former Manchester United striker joined the Gunners while on England duty.

"I know a lot about Arsenal," he said. "I don't think there are many people in England who won't know about Arsenal and what a big club this is.

"The stadium is fantastic and [the team] has got a legendary manager and magnificent players who have also been brought in. I know the England lads from the camp.

"I met Calum Chambers for the first time [on Monday]. All they have said to me are good words about the club and how big the family is in and around the training ground. It seems like a family club and that's something that's really enticing. I'm so glad to be here.

"Yes, I've trained on a few of the pitches [at London Colney] already, so it's not a brand new setting for me. I've trained here for the last few days with England and I'm really looking forward to training there for a very long time."
