Begins training with new team
Welbeck has joined his new Chelsea teammates in Hong Kong to begin working under coach Xabi Alonso, the club announced.
Analysis: Welbeck arrives with plenty of experience after signing a two year deal following his exit from Brighton. He closed out a solid 2025-26 campaign at Brighton with 13 goals and an assist across 37 Premier League matches, 26 of them starts. Earning a regular spot in Chelsea's rotation won't be straightforward given Joao Pedro's standing as the club's likely first choice up top next season. Welbeck is expected to begin building up his fitness as he integrates with his new teammates.
Completes Chelsea move
Welbeck has signed a two-year deal with Chelsea after leaving Brighton, the team announced Saturday.
Analysis: Welbeck will arrive in his new team with plenty of experience, including 42 international appearances and 16 goals scored for England throughout his career. The forward is coming off a solid campaign at Brighton, where he recorded 13 goals and one assist across 37 Premier League matches (26 starts) during the 2025/26 season. He'll offer a reliable threat both in and outside the box, but he'll need to earn a spot in Chelsea's rotation, with Joao Pedro currently set to lead the front line next season.
