Wenger: Welbeck looks like an 'animal' again

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes Danny Welbeck is a 'different animal' again, with the striker impressing since returning from his lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Welbeck was sidelined for 9 months earlier in the season with a knee problem, but has got some crucial goals for Arsenal since returning, with the latest being the winner in Arsenal's 1-0 Premier League victory over Norwich City.

Wenger believes the 25-year-old will continue to get better as he gets more game time and increases his fitness.

"Welbeck came in and played very well [on his comeback], like the players who have been out for nine months always do," Wenger told reporters.

"You have to trust me on that, I know that well. After they come in they are super sharp and then after, against Crystal Palace, he had a very average game and looked a bit for one or two games that he paid for the physical energy he had given.

"So you let them rest one or two games and you bring them back in. Against Norwich, when he came on, you could see he is a different animal again."
