Chelsea have reportedly made a major breakthrough in discussions with Brighton & Hove Albion over the surprise signing of veteran forward Danny Welbeck.

According to sports broadcaster Ben Jacobs, Chelsea look likely to get a deal for the 35-year-old over the line following significant progress in negotiations.

Welbeck has already accepted personal terms offered by the Blues, and all parties anticipate the transfer will be finalized later this week.

The former England international is set to arrive at Stamford Bridge to compete with Joao Pedro, casting further doubt on the futures of other forwards at the club.
