Everton are reportedly monitoring Arsenal’s Danny Welbeck.
According to a report from the Times, Everton have expressed an interest in signing Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck, but the Toffees should be wary of bringing the 27-year-old to Goodison Park this summer.
The Gunners forward has really struggled with form and fitness since moving to north London from Manchester United in the summer of 2014.
Welbeck has managed just 27 goals in 112 appearances for Arsenal, and with Everton’s need for an out and out goalscorer, a move for the Gunners man seems to make little sense.

On his day, the 40-capped England international is undoubtedly a real threat, but he just has not produced on a consistent enough basis to be considered as one of the Premier League’s best strikers.
The Merseyside outfit were poor on the whole last season, and their lack of a cutting edge in front of goal played a major role in their struggles.
They do already have Cenk Tosun of course, but if Marco Silva truly wants to guide his side back into contention for the European places this season, he will need to bring in an established goalscorer.
And although it may sound harsh, Welbeck is quite simply not that man.
