Why Welbeck’s return is a massive boost for Arsenal’s title run-in

Despite being on the sidelines for almost a year, Danny Welbeck has made quite an impact since returning to the Arsenal side. After scoring a crucial winner at home to Leicester that brought Arsene Wenger’s side back into the title race, the striker put in a great performance against Hull City and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet. He was also given another 20 minute run-out against Barcelona and looks like he is ready to roll.

Now with just twelve games to go till the end of the Premier League season, there is no denying that the Englishman has given the Gunners a massive boost going into the business end of the season. Make no mistake about it, Arsene Wenger’s side could really use some more firepower at the moment and the former Manchester United man can certainly bring it.

Apart from playing up front as a lone striker, Danny can also play effectively on either flank, as we have seen last season. Blessed with blistering pace and good physical presence, the 25-year-old certainly has what it takes to make the difference for the Gunners. In addition, it seems as though the player has worked extensively on his physical strength and he seems really hungry, which is certainly a massive boost for Arsenal.

With his team fighting for the title and a place in the England squad for the upcoming Euros up for grabs, you can be sure that Danny will not need any further motivation to give his best on the pitch. While any potential title push will require more of a united team effort, I firmly believe that the timely return of Danny Welbeck has provided Arsenal with a much-needed boost, especially as the team is struggling to finish their chances.
