Liam Delap bids farewell to Chelsea after Nottingham Forest transfer
Liam Delap has completed his transfer from Chelsea to Nottingham Forest in a $61.2 million deal, with the striker posting a goodbye message to the Blues on social media
Nottingham Forest has announced the signing of forward Liam Delap from Chelsea for a fee of £45 million ($61.2 million). The 23-year-old was in Chelsea's starting lineup, but injuries and inconsistent performances prevented him from establishing a regular place in the team. Delap made just 41 appearances for the Blues last season, scoring two goals.
After being omitted from the squad for Chelsea's 3-2 win against Fulham, the club informed Delap he had no future at the club. Delap expressed his excitement about joining Forest, praising the club's rich history and manager's approach. He also thanked Chelsea for his time, wishing the club success in the upcoming season.
