Since his debut in the 2007/08 season, Welbeck has become a Premier League mainstay. He moved from Manchester United to Arsenal, had a short stint with Watford, and is now Brighton and Hove Albion’s go-to striker.
Having earned a new deal with the Seagulls towards the end of last season, Welbeck continues to earn a healthy salary in the big-money league, but how much is the striker worth?
How Much is Danny Welbeck Worth?
Danny Welbeck’s net worth is estimated to be in the region of £30 million, having earned millions every year for over a decade. Naturally, this figure can only be an estimate without a list of the striker’s assets and outgoings.
The new contract Welbeck signed with Brighton under Roberto de Zerbi last season ensured he’d continue to earn a decent salary through to June 2026, which is reportedly netting him between £50,000 and £60,000 per week.
His current wages, which are presumed to be the lowest since his early contracts at Manchester United, earn Welbeck in the region of £2.8 million and £3.1 million each year.
By comparison, compatriot Ivan Toney predominantly made a name for himself in the EFL after leaving a Premier League system and played for Brentford in the top flight, and so, his net worth is estimated to be £5 million.
Career Statistics
Danny Welbeck has amassed over 455 appearances for Manchester United, Brighton and Hove Albion, Arsenal, Watford, and while out on-loan to Sunderland and Preston North End.
Across these spells with mostly Premier League-based clubs, the Manchester-born forward has scored over 100 goals and 40 assists and is yet to be shown a red card.
Of these caps, 24 came in the UEFA Champions League, where he scored seven goals and two assists, and 21 were earned by playing in the UEFA Europa League.
With his former club, now managed by Erik ten Hag, Welbeck won the Premier League twice, the League Cup twice, the FIFA Club World Cup, and the UEFA Champions League.
As a Gunner, he collected the other major English domestic trophy that eluded him at Manchester United. Welbeck and Arsenal won the FA Cup twice, raising the trophy in 2015 and 2017.
At the time of writing, Welbeck continues to play a key role in Brighton’s surprising hunt for a top-four place. Sitting seventh in the league and one point back of fourth, the Premier League odds have the Seagulls as dark horses to land a coveted top-four place.
While not impossible, it seems very unlikely that Welbeck will get another England call-up to add to his solid haul of 16 goals and 42 caps – the last of which came in a 2018 friendly against Switzerland.
How Old is Danny Welbeck?
Danny Welbeck, whose full name is Daniel Nii Tackie Mensah Welbeck, turns 34-years-old on 26 November 2024, and yet, he’ll continue to get starts for Brighton as they seek to defy the football odds and finish with a European spot.
While his career can be said to have begun at eight-years-old, when he was originally invited to join the United youth team, his professional career truly took off when he made his Premier League debut at the age of 17.
On his current deal with Brighton, Welbeck will be 35-years-old when it concludes in June 2026. Should he continue to score goals to the end of next season, another contract somewhere seems inevitable.
