Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger feels they're now even with Manchester United after signing Danny Welbeck. Wenger says Welbeck's arrival more than makes up for the sale of Robin van Persie.
"Danny Welbeck is an ideal signing for us because he can play through the middle, where I think is his best position but he can play as well on the flanks," said Wenger.
"His qualities are his team-attitude and his pace as well and, as you could see with England, his goalscoring.
"We sold Robin van Persie to Manchester United so that's a reciprocity that happened there.
"At the moment I thought when they bought Falcao they had to let somebody go.
"It was quick because it was on the last day of the transfer window and I had no hesitation to do it.
"He can first of all make himself a better player because I can help him.
"He's a young boy, he's not 24 yet and let's not forget that some players who arrived here at the age of 23 made huge careers here. So I hope we can contribute and help him."
