Watford Confirm Signing of Free Agent Danny Welbeck on 3-Year Deal

Watford have confirmed the signing of free agent Danny Welbeck on a three-year deal after the striker was free to pursue a new club this summer after seeing out his contract at Arsenal.

The Gunners opted not to offer the 28-year-old a new deal after his previous one had expired, meaning the forward was free to talk to any number of suitors.

Having only made one signing so far this window - Craig Dawson's £6m arrival from West Brom - the Hornets have now secured their second acquisition in the shape of the former Manchester United academy product.
