Yet another turn in the most ridiculous story of deadline day.
The Danny Welbeck saga continues. First, Tottenham Hotspur were favored. Then, Arsenal were expected to take him on loan. A medical was reported, then denied, while Welbeck's representatives said that he wanted a permanent deal. And now, it looks like that permanent deal might happen.
Sky Sports News are reporting that a deal is on, and Jeremy Wilson of the Telegraph says Arsenal are trying to get it done quickly.
Arsenal still in talks with Man U over Danny Welbeck and hoping to get deal done in next 2 hrs

A loan deal made sense for Arsenal in light of Olivier Giroud's injury, but Arsenal are a bit short of numbers up top even with Giroud fit. Signing Welbeck permanently isn't going to give Arsenal a huge surplus of strikers.
The big lingering question, though, is how much Arsenal would have to pay Manchester United to sign Welbeck permanently. No one's thrown a number out there, but if United were reportedly asking for a loan fee of £5m, they'd probably want 3-4 times that to sell him outright. It's tough to see Arsenal paying that much in a panic buy situation, but they certainly do have the money.
