Chelsea agrees to transfer fee for Danny Welbeck from Brighton

Chelsea is set to acquire Danny Welbeck from Brighton & Hove Albion, with reports confirming that a deal is in place. The 35-year-old striker has agreed to personal terms on a two-year contract and is scheduled for a medical. This move comes after Brighton approved Welbeck's request to leave the club. Upon successful completion of the medical, Welbeck will join Chelsea's preseason tour in Hong Kong. His arrival may lead to the departures of Nicolas Jackson and Liam Delap as Chelsea looks to bolster their attacking options.
