Chelsea have signed striker Danny Welbeck from Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion on a contract running until 2028.
The 35-year-old England international will join Xabi Alonso’s squad during the club’s pre-season tour.
Welbeck expressed his delight at the move. “When you hear of the interest from Chelsea, it’s something that fills you with such immense pride,” he said. “Knowing the history of Chelsea, it’s a club that wants to win trophies and is pushing to do that every single season.
“I’m really honoured to come to a club of this stature at what feels like a really exciting time. I know a few of the boys already and I’ve had fantastic conversations with the manager and already feel that connection.
