Arsenal have made a decision over the future of Danny Welbeck following reports that he had been transfer listed.

Gunners boss Unai Emery has made it clear that Welbeck will stay on at the club this summer.

The 27-year-old has fallen down the pecking order behind Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.

The forward is expected to struggle for playing time if he remains at the North London based outfit.

Emery said: “But the other players are with us and we are going to work in the Emirates the day before the match with all the players. Only two young players are going today, to play tomorrow with the under-23s against Manchester City away. They are Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah. The others, they are with us and tomorrow we decide the group for going to the hotel and also the first 11 and the first 18 players.”

A move to another Premier League move failed to materialize on Thursday’s deadline.

The Super Lig transfer window does however, shut on August 31 and Besiktas had expressed an interest.

A source close to the club revealed to Turkish-Football that an enquiry was made regarding Welbeck and that Arsenal were open to a transfer on a permanent deal.

The Gunners valuation was higher than the Black Eagles were prepared to pay and a loan move was snubbed.

Besiktas have made signing a striker a priority this summer but it would be very unlikely if Welbeck were to join.

Arsenal kick-off their Premier League campaign over the weekend against reigning champions Manchester City.
