Welbeck, 33, has been in fine form for Albion of late and his strike during the 5-0 win at Sheffield United was his 21st for the club from 97 appearances.
Head coach Roberto De Zerbi is a huge admirer of the former Man United and Arsenal striker and previously stated he wants to keep Welbeck at the club for at least another season.
The striker, who has 16 goals in 42 outings for England, is out of contract this summer but negotiations on a new deal are said to be progressing nicely.
Here's every Brighton and Hove Albion player who is out of contract this summer...
1. Danny Welbeck - keep

2. James Milner - keep
The 38-year-old is currently injured but is a versatile and valuable member of De Zerbi's squad and another year appears to make sense for all parties Photo: GLYN KIRK
3. Adam Lallana - let go
The former Liverpool man is 35 and recently admitted this season could be his last as a player. A possible coaching role for the classy midfielder could be on the cards. Photo: Richard Pelham
4. Ansu Fati - let go
The Barcelona man loan expires at the end of the season. There is no option for Brighton to buy but a deal could still be done if a realistic price could be agreed. Undoubted class but hard to gauge his input this term due to injuries. Photo: Matt McNulty
