According to The Sun, “Arsenal are ready to sell Danny Welbeck. New boss Unai Emery also wants to offload David Ospina and Lucas Perez as he tries to trim his squad. Everton are considering a £15million move for England striker Welbeck, who is in the final year of his contract and has yet to be offered a new deal. The 27-year-old is at the back of a long queue of attacking options behind Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alex Iwobi.”
