Brighton and Hove Albion were not expected to stand in the way of Danny Welbeck leaving their club, and it appears they have been true to their word indeed, as Chelsea have reportedly agreed a deal to sign the 35-year-old veteran striker.
The Blues had already agreed personal terms on a two-year contract over the weekend, and Welbeck is now set to undergo a medical, according to Fabrizio Romano. according to The athleteIf all goes well, Welbeck will join the pre-season tour in Hong Kong next week.
There is no information on the fee agreed between the two clubs, but hopefully, for once, we can not overpay for a Brighton player, especially a player who will be here mainly because of his experience and leadership qualities while supporting our key player up front, Joao Pedro.
Welbeck’s arrival is expected to lead to the departure of both Nicholas Jackson and Liam Delap, preferably to Chelsea, on transfer deals rather than on loan.
If the price is right, Welbeck should be a useful signing on and off the pitch.
