“I said to him when he arrived with us after the holidays, I want the best performance in his career from this player — and to work for that,” Emery said.
“[We will be] helping with his quality and also getting better with his quality and his data in this year. More goals, more assists. Working to help when we need quick pressing against the opposition.
“For me it’s clear. Yesterday the transfer window closed and our players will stay with us.”
His manager might be thrilled about Welbeck’s versatility but Arsenal fans are crossing every body part they have in the hope that they don’t see their striker line up at full-back against the rampaging attack possessed by Pep Guardiola.
Call it a hunch, but I think that playing Danny Welbeck, a striker, at left back for the first time in his career against the champions and former player of the year Riyad Mahrez might be a bad idea.
