Italian side Como have initiated talks with Chelsea regarding the transfer of 23-year-old English forward Liam Delap.
Reputable Italian journalist and insider Fabrizio Romano has reported exclusively:
Como have made an initial enquiry about Liam Delap, as they want to see him as their new striker. He is high on their shortlist for forward targets, and the relationship with Chelsea remains strong following the deal for Trevoh Chalobah. Delap may leave the club in the final two weeks of the transfer window.
The young forward is on the lookout for a move that guarantees him regular playing time, something he struggles to find in London given the fierce competition in Chelsea's attacking lineup.
Successful dealings like the one for Trevoh Chalobah have eased dialogue between Chelsea's hierarchy and Como, making the Italian club the frontrunner for Delap as the summer window approaches its closure.
