Danny Welbeck is poised to transfer from Brighton to Chelsea, having reached an agreement and scheduled a medical at Stamford Bridge. The 35-year-old forward enjoyed a successful season at Brighton, scoring 13 Premier League goals in 37 matches. His arrival could impact the futures of younger forwards like Liam Delap and Nicolas Jackson, as Chelsea shifts towards signing more experienced players under manager Xabi Alonso.
