Brighton's Danny Welbeck is set for a summer move to Chelsea, according to reports from the Daily Mail. The 35-year-old striker has caught the eye of Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso, who sees his leadership as a valuable asset to the team.
Welbeck's contract with Brighton expires next year, making any deal relatively straightforward to negotiate. The experienced forward enjoyed a stellar campaign last season, notching 13 Premier League goals—his highest tally in the top flight.
His career has taken him through some of England's biggest clubs, including stints at Arsenal and Manchester United. The striker's move to Stamford Bridge would represent a notable summer acquisition for Chelsea.
