Besiktas to move for Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck?

Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck has reportedly emerged as a possible transfer target for Besiktas.

Welbeck has endured a mixed period at the Emirates Stadium, with injuries restricting the attacker to 112 appearances across four seasons.

However, the England international ended this campaign as a regular in the first-team squad and according to Fotospor, Besiktas have taken notice of the player's recent form.

Besiktas are looking for a replacement for Anderson Talisca - who has returned to Benfica after a two-year loan spell - and Welbeck is seemingly on the radar of the Turkish giants.

Arsenal are currently without a manager but if - as expected - Unai Emery is appointed as Arsene Wenger's replacement, one of the Spaniard's first jobs will be to decide how to handle Welbeck's contract, which has just over a year left to run.
