"Danny has been brilliant for us from the moment he arrived," head coach Graham Potter said.

"On the pitch he has been really important for us, he gives so much to the team."

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Welbeck added: "I'm feeling fit. I'm feeling strong and long may it continue.

"We've got a great manager to play under and hungry players who want to improve every day. To be part of the process and trying to elevate the club to the next level is something I am looking forward to over the next few years."
