Liam Delap keen on move to Newcastle as Chelsea price him at £50m

Chelsea's Liam Delap is reportedly eager to join Newcastle United, as the Magpies have shown consistent interest in the 23-year-old forward, according to Transfer News Live.

The hierarchy at Chelsea has made it clear that Delap does not feature in their long-term plans. Alongside Newcastle, both Everton and Nottingham Forest have also expressed active interest in securing the striker's signature.

However, the main hurdle in finalising the deal appears to be Chelsea's financial demands, which could be as high as £50 million for a player deemed surplus to requirements.
