Unai Emery has revealed Arsenal will consider handing Danny Welbeck a new contract with the striker on course to return to training before the season's end.
The 28-year-old broke his right ankle in November's Europa League draw at home to Sporting Lisbon and – while he is unlikely to return this season – Emery insists he is "progressing very well".
In his absence Arsenal have steadily improved as they have adjusted to their new manager's methods, with fellow strikers Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang becoming particularly key amid a wider expectation Welbeck would leave this summer.
