Danny Welbeck has revealed the Arsenal player he use to hate.
The English player said that he “used to hate” Kieran Gibbs before teaming up with his fellow England international at Arsenal.
Speaking in an Arsenal Album’s video, Welbeck said: “Obviously me and Gibbo are very close friends now but back then I used to hate him, to be honest.
“He was bigger than me, faster than me, he was so strong and I was like, ‘what is this guy about?’
“He scored the first goal at the Emirates. The second leg was at Old Trafford and I scored the winner to knock Arsenal out.”
On relationship with Per Mertesacker, he said: “It’s difficult to put this guy into words,” Welbeck said.
“He is one of the sickest guys, seriously! He just lifts the whole atmosphere up in the dressing room.
“And I think he helped me a lot. He’s always there talking to you, giving you advice, asking you how you’re feeling.
“I think once you’re injured it can be quite a dark place, but Per was one of the reasons that kept me smiling throughout.
“Even his playlist is banging to be fair! It’s mad man, you walk in the dressing room and he’s there singing Drake and Future and that.
“You wouldn’t expect it if you met Per Mertesacker, but he’s a top man. A sick, sick guy!”
