Brighton want to keep Welbeck

I have long held the view that Danny Welbeck could have had a more sparkling career given his striking talents.

He played for England but has endured a low key career for some years.

Brighton offered him a deal at the Amex Stadium last season and Danny did well.

As a result Brighton Chief executive Paul Barber has offered him a new one-year contract.

He said, “Those who doubted he could still play at premier level have been answered by his performances. We would love Danny to be with us next season. We are certainly talking to him and we will see where we get to over the next few weeks.”
