  "account": "Nottingham Forest has completed the signing of striker Liam Delap from Chelsea in a club-record £50m deal. The 23-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the club. Delap only made one Premier League appearance for Chelsea last season, scoring just once. Prior to Chelsea, he had a brief stint at Ipswich where he shone, scoring 12 goals in their relegation battle. His move to Forest is seen as an opportunity to build on that impressive form and help the club justify the massive investment. Delap praised Forest's manager Oliver Glasner, stating he believes Glasner can help him reach the next level. Forest are hopeful Delap can replicate his early Ipswich success and recapture the form that made him one of the Premier League's most exciting young strikers.",
