Transfer: Delap to join Chelsea’s EPL rivals

Chelsea striker, Liam Delap, could leave Stamford Bridge this summer transfer window to join Premier League rivals, Nottingham Forest.

According to The Telegraph, Nottingham Forest are keen on signing the 23-year-old after they missed out on bringing him to the club last year.

Nottingham Forest are long-term fans of the former Ipswich Town star and wanted to sign him last summer before his move to Chelsea, but are still keen on signing him now.

The club’s new manager, Oliver Glasner, is also said to be an admirer of Delap.

The report added that Nottingham Forest wants a powerful but pacy attacker who can score double figures to complement Chris Wood this 2026/27 season.

Delap has not really impressed to the fullest since he joined the Blues in 2025, and it’s yet to be seen if he will end up leaving Xabi Alonso’s side.
