Wenger keeping faith in Welbeck

Premier League

Around 15 years ago Arsene Wenger famously moulded Thierry Henry into a man often forced to play out wide into the complete out-and-out striker. It may be too early to suggest he is doing a similar job with Danny Welbeck, but the 23-year-old has certainly given him enough reasons for optimism.

The €20m signing from Manchester United was immense as Arsenal saw off Aston Villa with three goals in a three minute and 12 second period of the first-half. Welbeck scored one, his first goal for the club, and made one and now looks set to make the number 9 role his own.
