Arsenal have completed the £16 million signing of Danny Welbeck from Manchester United.

Goal understands that a deal was struck late on Monday night to bring the England international to the Emirates Stadium on a four-year contract, with an option for a fifth.

Welbeck is set to earn around £100,000 per week at Arsenal, who have successfully secured a deal under the noses of north London rivals Tottenham.

Arsene Wenger moved for the 23-year-old after failing in efforts to sign Loic Remy and Radamel Falcao, the latter of whom is set to join United on a season-long loan deal.

The forward had grown frustrated at a lack of first-team opportunities and had requested showdown talks with new manager Louis van Gaal earlier this summer to resolve the issue.
