Brighton & Hove Albion striker Danny Welbeck has been given permission to undergo a medical at Stamford Bridge, bringing his move to Chelsea closer to completion. The 32-year-old forward, who joined Brighton in 2020 and has scored 12 goals in 67 appearances for the club, is expected to finalize a transfer to the London side pending the medical examination. Chelsea, seeking to strengthen their attacking options under newly appointed head coach Enzo Maresca, have targeted Welbeck as a veteran addition to their frontline. The medical is a routine step before a contract can be signed, and sources indicate that personal terms have been agreed. Welbeck's departure from Brighton would free up squad space and salary for the Seagulls, who have been active in the summer transfer window. The exact transfer fee and contract length have not been disclosed, but the deal is understood to be a permanent move. Welbeck, a former Manchester United and Arsenal player, brings experience to Chelsea's young squad. Both BBC Sport and Yahoo Sports report the development, with no conflicting details provided. The medical is expected to take place in the coming days, and if successful, Welbeck could be unveiled as a Chelsea player by the end of the week.
