The signing marks Welbeck’s arrival at Stamford Bridge with no transfer fee disclosed, confirming his free‑transfer status. He will add his experience to the London side after parting ways with Brighton.

"When you hear of interest from Chelsea, it is something that fills you with such immense pride," the forward said. The comment reflects his enthusiasm about joining the club.

He added, "Knowing the history of Chelsea, it is a club that wants to win trophies and is pushing to do that every single season." The quote emphasizes his awareness of the club’s ambitions.

Welbeck noted, "I know a few of the boys already, and I've had fantastic conversations with the manager, so I already feel that connection." This shows his early integration with the squad.
