Chelsea sign Welbeck, Brentford complete Sangaré deal

Chelsea have signed Brighton striker Danny Welbeck in a £5m deal, with the 35-year-old agreeing to a two-year contract. The move breaks Chelsea's policy of signing younger players, with the last time they paid a transfer fee for a player over 26 being Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's arrival in 2022.

Meanwhile, Brentford have completed their record £39m signing of Mali international Sangaré, making him the club's most expensive player in history. forestarrow.rest
