Brighton have expressed interest in signing free agent Danny Welbeck who was released from his contract at Watford last week.
Seagulls manager Graham Potter has been looking for an experienced forward to replace Glenn Murray who left last summer and had previously been linked with Josh King and Troy Deeney.
Welbeck, 29, first made his name at his boyhood club Manchester United before joining Arsenal in 2014.
He signed for Watford last year but was unable to prevent them from being relegated into the Championship.
Capped 42 times by England where he featured in three major tournaments Euro 2012 and the World Cups of 2014 and 2018, Welbeck’s career has nonetheless been hampered by injury, missing almost a year apiece with separate ankle and knee injuries.
However Brighton feel landing a player of his pedigree without paying a transfer fee represents good business and hope to come to a satisfactory arrangement.
The striker made 20 appearances in all competitions for the Hornets last season but could only manage three goals and one assist.
Welbeck, who has made a total of 224 appearances in the Premier League, has also previously attracted interest from Southampton and Crystal Palace.

I see what you did there😂 And no, Brighton already have Trossard and Maupay. He may not play there. Big Welbz should join a team that needs a striker.

The guy was given a second if not third chance a watford and only managed 3 goals and one assist. This is how the name Welbeck went into oblivion 🤦🏾♂️

I think if we signed aouar or Dominik they are going to get that jersey
Number 11 is another option. It suits wingers/attacking midfielders.

No imo keep the No.7 shirt for Saka. Özil is leaving within a maximum of 8 months anyway so I want to give the No.10 shirt to Martinelli.

Emi Buendía. He's a good player even though Norwich were relegated last season. Enjoyed watching him play. Cantwell is good too but I prefer Emi.
