Transfer: Delap to Join Chelsea's EPL Rivals in £45m Deal
Chelsea seeks to trim Xabi Alonso's squad by selling Liam Delap for an initial £45m, following the forward's struggles and one Premier League goal in 28 appearances.
- Standard Sport reports Liam Delap is in discussions with Forest regarding a potential transfer to the City Ground, as the striker seeks more playing time away from Chelsea.
- Delap joined Chelsea for £30m from Ipswich Town but struggled to make an impact, returning just three goals and five assists from 47 appearances last season.
- Training away from manager Xabi Alonso's first-team squad, the forward remains grouped with transfer-listed players Marc Guiu, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Nicolas Jackson.
- His path to playing time is further complicated by the return of Nicolas Jackson from a loan at Bayern Munich and the summer signing of Emmanuel Emegha from Strasbourg.
- While Delap discusses a move to Forest managed by Oliver Glasner, the extent of interest from Everton remains uncertain after he was left out of Monday's squad against Fulham.
