#4 Welbeck contract and De Jong claim

Welbeck got injured against Sporting

Danny Welbeck might be injured and out for a while but that hasn’t stopped Arsenal from wanting to offer him a new contract. According to David Ornstein, the Gunners value him a lot and are willing to offer him a new contract with accordance to their wage budget.

“I think there have been some initial discussions about now offering Welbeck a contract, if the numbers are right for the club, bearing in mind he could be out for a while,” Ornstein said. “I don’t think it’s a sentimental thing, but they value him very highly at Arsenal.”

Meanwhile, reports had linked Frenkie De Jong to Manchester City as Pep Guardiola is looking to sign the Dutchman as a means to strengthen his midfield. De Jong’s agent, however, has played down those claims, stating that Ajax director Marc Overmars is the only who can give a proper answer.

“I can neither confirm nor deny it,” Ali Dursan said as quoted as saying. “You should ask [Ajax director of football] Marc Overmars, I send all the clubs who contact me to him.”
