# Welbeck reportedly open to Everton move

Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck is reportedly open to a move to Everton this month.

The England international has been linked with a switch to Merseyside in recent times, and it looks as though Everton’s apparent interest in the player is being reciprocated.

It’s claimed today by Italian news outlet [TMW](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/europa/everton-sfumato-giroud-koeman-continua-a-pensare-a-welbeck-1005459) that Welbeck is “very fond” of Toffees boss Ronald Koeman, who is on the lookout for a new striker for this season.

Romelu Lukaku’s departure has left Everton light up front, with Sandro Ramirez and Wayne Rooney the only established, senior strikers at Koeman’s disposal.

So, with a void to fill, the Toffees have been linked with numerous strikers. The likes of Nikola Kalinic, Olivier Giroud and many others have been linked, but it appears as though a move for Welbeck could be a favourable one.

Welbeck opened his account for the season on Friday night, scoring Arsenal’s second in a 4-3 win over Leicester.
