Arsenal set to pip Tottenham to Danny Welbeck signing as Manchester United striker undergoes Gunners medical

Danny Welbeck is believed to be having a medical with Arsenal ahead of a transfer deadline day loan move from Manchester United.
The England international has been tipped to leave Old Trafford this summer, with boss Louis van Gaal deeming him surplus to requirements despite his side’s poor start to the season.
And it appears the Emirates will be the 23-year-old’s next destination, with the Gunners seemingly fending off interest from the likes of Tottenham and Sunderland to complete a deal.
Arsenal fans have been desperate for boss Arsene Wenger to add a striker to his squad before tonight’s cut-off, with demands increasing following injury to Olivier Giroud.
And despite a quiet deadline day so far at the Emirates, it appears Arsenal could yet be adding Welbeck to their ranks, with the Daily Mail reporting a £6m loan fee has been agreed between the two clubs.

Bizarre: Meet the Brazilian man born with his head upside-down

A man born with physical disabilities so severe his head is Upside-down has defied the odds to become an inspirational public speaker.

Claudio Vieira de Oliveira, 37, was born with his neck folded back on itself, as well as badly deformed legs and almost no use of his arms and hands. Doctors told his mother to stop feeding him as a newborn as they believed he had no chance of survival. But Claudio from Monte Santo, Brazil, has overcome his extreme disadvantages to graduate as an accountant and become a public speaker. Continue...



"Since I was a child I've always liked to keep myself busy and work - I don't like to depend totally on other people. I do a bit of accounting, research for clients and consulting. I have learned to turn on the TV, pick up my cell phone, turn on the radio, use the internet, my computer - I do it all by myself." he said.
Claudio types with a pen held in his mouth, operates phones and a computer mouse with his lips and has specially made shoes that allow him to move around town. His determined independence saw him succeeding at school and qualifying as an accountant from the State University of Feira de Santana.

When Claudio was born, doctors told his mother Maria Jose he would not be able to survive. Maria Jose said:
"People started saying 'the baby is going to die' because he could barely breathe when he was born. Some people would say: 'Don't feed him, he is already dying'. But there's only happiness now. Claudio is just like any other person - that's how he was raised in this house. We never tried to fix him and always wanted him to do the normal things everyone else does. That's why he is so confident. He is not ashamed of walking around in the street - he sings and he dances."
At eight years old, Claudio, who had previously been carried everywhere, began to walk on his knees.

His family had to change the floor of the house so he could walk around without injuring himself.
Claudio's bed, plugs and lights had to be made lower so that he could do things for himself without asking for help.

He cannot use a wheelchair because of his unusual shape, making it hard for him to be independent outside the home - but he begged his mother to be allowed to go to school and learn with the other children. Doctors have recently diagnosed him with a rare condition called congenital arthrogryposis.
They believe he has multiple joint contractions in his legs and arms which mean they cannot extend properly. Claudio said:
"Throughout my life I was able to adapt my body to the world. Right now, I don't see myself as being different. I am a normal person. I don't see things upside-down. This is one of the things I always talk about in my interventions as a public speaker.
"Nowadays it's much easier to deal with the public, I'm not afraid of it anymore and I can say that I am a professional, international public speaker and that I receive invitations from all over the world."

Danny Welbeck to Arsenal: Manchester United striker 'undergoing medical' at Arsenal with move favoured over Tottenham

North London rivals could battle for England man

Whether Welbeck arrives at Arsenal or Tottenham Hotspur remains to be seen, however The Independent understands the England striker would prefer a move to the Emirates.
Ironically, the 23-year-old is already at Arsenal's training camp - however that's due to the England squad training there ahead of their upcoming games against Norway and Switzerland.


Sky Sports News HQ went as far as claiming he is undergoing a medical at Arsenal, however it was then reported that the Gunners have denied a deal is in the offing.
After Falcao arrived at Old Trafford on a £9m loan deal Welbeck slipped further down the pecking order under Louis van Gaal.
Welbeck enjoyed his best season for Manchester United last season, scoring nine goals in 25 Premier League matches last season, but is a one of a number of United players Van Gaal will listen to offers for.
