Chelsea sign Danny Welbeck from Brighton

Chelsea have completed the signing of 35-year-old striker Danny Welbeck from Brighton, marking a notable departure from the club's post-BlueCo takeover policy of targeting players under 25. The move was made under new head coach Xabi Alonso, who had called for more 'balance' in his squad during preseason. Welbeck, who has previously played for Manchester United, Arsenal, and Brighton, expressed pride and excitement at joining the trophy-chasing club.
