  • Liam Delap is reportedly nearing a £13 million transfer from Chelsea to Nottingham Forest.
  • The move aims to revive Delap's career after a difficult season at Chelsea where he scored only one goal.
  • Nottingham Forest seeks to strengthen their attack, having struggled to score in their opening match.

Striker Liam Delap is poised to end a disappointing tenure at Chelsea by joining Nottingham Forest for a reported £13 million transfer fee.

Delap struggled to meet expectations at Chelsea last season after his £9.5 million move from Ipswich Town, managing just one Premier League goal. This transfer would allow Chelsea to recoup approximately £3.2 million after just one season.

Nottingham Forest manager Oliver Glasner is keen to bolster his attacking options. The team failed to score in their opening 1-0 defeat to Leeds United, with key forwards Igor Jesus and Chris Wood unable to capitalize on chances. The situation was further complicated by Taiwo Awoniyi's £2.9 million transfer to newly promoted Coventry City.

Delap's arrival is expected to sharpen Forest's attack, though he will require support from the midfield. He previously impressed at Ipswich, scoring 12 goals in the 2023/2024 season. Forest hopes Delap can rediscover his scoring form that he demonstrated with Ipswich, as he prepares to leave Stamford Bridge.
