Chelsea sign 35-year-old Danny Welbeck from Brighton on two-year deal

Chelsea confirmed the signing of Danny Welbeck from Brighton on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee. The 35-year-old arrives off a career-high 13 Premier League goals last season — only three English players scored more. Since taking over in 2022, Chelsea's owners had predominantly targeted younger players with resale value. Welbeck breaks that mould.
