Danny Welbeck, former Manchester United striker, has picked Olivier Giroud as the best striker he’s ever played with, leaving out Cristiano Ronaldo.

Welbeck, now playing for Brighton, previously played for both Manchester United and Arsenal. He recently scored the decisive goal in Brighton’s FA Cup victory over Newcastle.

Throughout his career, Welbeck has shared the pitch with some top-tier forwards like Ronaldo, Giroud, and Dimitar Berbatov. Speaking to Sky Sports, he reflected on those experiences.

“I didn’t get to play many games with Ronaldo, but training with him for a couple of years was incredible,” Welbeck said.

He also praised Berbatov’s quiet confidence, saying, “He knew how good he was.”

However, it was Giroud who stood out the most for him. “I loved playing alongside Olivier. We really clicked on the field. He was a top-class striker and a great partner to play with,” Welbeck added.

Manchester United have reportedly received a massive £80 million bid from Al Hilal for their captain, Bruno Fernandes. The Saudi club is pulling out all the stops to land the Portuguese star, offering him a tempting four-year deal worth £21 million a year. Talks are said to be ongoing as Al Hilal push hard to bring Fernandes to the Middle East this summer.

Despite his strong performance in United’s recent 2-0 win over Aston Villa, where manager Ruben Amorim praised him as a key figure, Fernandes’ future remains uncertain. United’s disappointing season—finishing 15th in the league and losing the Europa League final to Spurs—has raised questions about whether the midfielder will stay at Old Trafford.

Transfer insider Matteo Moretto has revealed that Nigerian star Ademola Lookman is unlikely to join Arsenal this summer, despite rumours linking him with a move to the Premier League giants. Moretto explained that Arsenal follows a specific recruitment strategy, especially when it comes to a player’s age and profile, and Lookman doesn’t seem to fit into that plan.

While the former Everton winger has reportedly been offered to several European clubs, including Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, the strongest interest is currently coming from Serie A sides Juventus and Napoli. Lookman is expected to leave Atalanta soon after an outstanding season where he helped the club win the UEFA Europa League. He was the standout player in the final, scoring a memorable hat-trick in their 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen.

According to Moretto, speaking on Fabrizio Romano’s channel, Lookman is “99.9%” set to leave Atalanta, but Arsenal is not likely to be his next destination. Instead, Juventus and Napoli are currently leading the race for his signature as he looks ahead to Champions League football next season.
