Chelsea hold positive talks with Brighton over Welbeck signing
Chelsea have opened talks with Brighton over the possibility of signing experienced striker Danny Welbeck. The 34-year-old is available on a free transfer as his contract at the Amex Stadium expires this summer. Welbeck had a productive season at Brighton, scoring in double figures in the Premier League. The talks are described as positive, though no deal has been finalised yet. Welbeck would offer Chelsea depth and experience up front as they look to reshape their attacking options ahead of the new campaign.

For Chelsea, adding a veteran striker provides squad depth but is unlikely to be a transformative signing. The positive nature of talks suggests a deal could materialize, though Welbeck's age (34) means this is a short-term solution rather than a long-term fix. This fits a pattern of Chelsea seeking experienced, affordable options in the market.
