Danny Welbeck has expressed his belief that he has "improved" as a footballer since his move to Arsenal.

The England international signed for the Gunners in a £16m deal from Manchester United in September last year, and has enjoyed a solid start to his career with Arsene Wenger's men, netting seven goals in 26 appearances.

Welbeck told The Mirror: "I think it's gone okay. I wish to do a lot more, definitely will do and it's something I want to build on and keep progressing. But I feel like I've improved.

"It's different going from one team to another, settling in and once you get past that stage you want to keep pushing on and get a second to none understanding with team mates on the pitch. Once you build that relationship on the pitch, things will only get better.

"There's so many good players at Arsenal. Obviously training every single day, you get to know them better. You get to know what they like to do, what side they like to go on, where to play passes through and so on."

Arsenal face United in their FA Cup quarter-final clash on Monday.
