What happened. Chelsea are advancing in talks to sign Brighton striker Danny Welbeck in a shock move that would see Xabi Alonso add experience to his squad.

Welbeck scored twice against Chelsea last season.
Chelsea have signed 15 players or staff from Brighton since 2022.
Total spent on Brighton deals could reach £300m with Welbeck.

“I think it's a rivalry that's been created by the transfers and the friction between the two clubs.”
— Danny Welbeck

Welbeck's experience could help Chelsea's young squad push for Champions League qualification.
