Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck could be on his way out of the Emirates next summer according to the Daily Mirror.

Per the source, an agreement over a new deal is not close.

Welbeck has under 12 months remaining on his contract and will be a free agent next summer unless he signs a new deal.

The England international will be free to talk to foreign clubs in January.

Galatasaray were closely linked with Welbeck last summer and a source close to the club revealed to Turkish-Football they are monitoring the situation closely.

The Lions are plotting a move for the striker over the winter transfer window to replace Bafetimbi Gomis.

Welbeck is on the shortlist and Galatasaray are expected to make Arsenal a formal enquiry over the striker’s availability in January.

The Istanbul giants have made signing a new striker a priority as they are lacking options up front.

Galatasaray failed to replace Gomis who was directly involved in 38 goals for the reigning Super Lig champions last season.

Welbeck has struggled for playing time this season featuring for just 54 minutes in the Premier League.

In total the 27-year-old forward has four goals in seven appearances for the North London outfit this term.

Galatasaray are currently first in the Super Lig and leaders in the Champions League Group D.
