Chelsea, Danny Welbeck, Jordan Henderson, Brighton and Brentford
Wednesday
Chelsea have agreed a fee and two-year contract for Brighton striker Danny Welbeck, who has permission to complete a medical. Jordan Henderson is also preparing to cancel his Brentford contract so he can join Chelsea on a free transfer.
Xabi Alonso wants more experience in a squad that has been the Premier League’s youngest for two seasons. Welbeck would become Chelsea’s oldest signing under the current ownership until Henderson’s expected arrival, with several younger forwards potentially leaving.
