Chelsea are reportedly considering a surprise move for Brighton striker Danny Welbeck this summer, according to the Daily Mail.
The Blues are interested in bringing the experienced forward to Stamford Bridge, with manager Xabi Alonso said to admire the 35-year-old’s leadership qualities.
Welbeck has less than a year remaining on his contract at Brighton, meaning Chelsea could secure his services for a relatively low transfer fee.
The England international enjoyed one of the best scoring seasons of his career last term, netting 13 Premier League goals, his highest tally in the competition.
Welbeck previously featured for Manchester United and Arsenal before joining Brighton, where he has become a key figure with his experience and versatility.
