Danny Welbeck has revealed that he shunned advances from abroad in order to join Watford, with several opportunities put to him after leaving Arsenal.

Having reached the end of his contract at Emirates Stadium and seen no fresh terms tabled, the England international forward dropped into the free agent pool this summer.

Vicarage Road has been chosen as his new home, with the 28-year-old opting to remain in the Premier League rather than take on a new challenge elsewhere.
