Liam Delap, Chelsea's striker, is about to join Nottingham Forest, according to recent transfer news. The 23-year-old, who moved from Ipswich Town to Chelsea in 2025, has not been performing well at the Blues. Delap missed out on Xabi Alonso's Premier League squad against Fulham, held on Monday. Chelsea have added two more strikers to their squad this summer: Emmanuel Emegha from Strasbourg and Danny Welbeck from Brighton. These signings aim to strengthen Alonso's attack, making Delap's departure less impactful.
Tim Sherwood, a former Tottenham Hotspur manager, commented on Delap's move to Nottingham Forest. Sherwood acknowledged Delap's talent, highlighting his past successes. However, Sherwood believes that Delap's struggles at Chelsea are due to a lack of consistent playing time, regardless of his performance. Sherwood thinks that Nottingham Forest's manager, Glasner, will appreciate Delap's potential and give him the opportunity to prove himself.
