The Gunners manager Arsene Wenger said: ‘If the healing was not good, he would have been out until April. But the news was excellent and he will be back around Christmas.

The north Londoners supporters are desperate for Wenger to sign a much-needed world class forward but the Frenchman refuses to pay the hefty amount.
Fans took to social media site Twitter and express their thoughts to the positive news. Here are some of the best tweets..!
Welbeck due back FOUR MONTHS early?! Carefully released PR spin from the club to cover for no striker signing? Wouldn’t surprise me at all.

With Welbeck back in December that virtually assures Arsenal won’t be buying a striker, right?

Every ‘positive news on Welbeck’ tweet from the club is another nail in the coffin of my transfer optimism.

Welbeck back early, so we won’t sign a striker. Welbeck injured in his first game back “oh well, how could we have anticipated this?!”

In any case we still need a world class striker if Welbeck was fit. Him & Giroud aren’t world class & Wenger admitted we didn’t score enough

Wenger confirming Welbeck’s early return from injury is another way of saying they aren’t going to sign a striker! pic.twitter.com/OOnYrjyIAj
