The adventure of 23-year-old English forward Liam Delap at «Stamford Bridge» is coming to an end after just one season. Chelsea's management has put the striker up for transfer and hopes to receive between £35 million and £40 million before the summer window closes.
After moving from «Ipswich Town» last summer for £30 million, Delap has struggled to secure a place in the «Blues» squad — he has scored just 1 goal in 28 Premier League matches (only 12 of which were starts).
Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso is reshaping the team's attacking line. The signing of Danny Welbeck, negotiations for young talent Kerim Aliyev from Bayer, and the key role of João Pedro leave Liam Delap little chance for regular playing time.
Key contenders for the player include «Nottingham Forest», «Everton», and «Leeds United». «Nottingham», under the management of Oliver Glasner, is searching for a powerful forward, while David Moyes of «Everton» has long been an admirer of the player's talent. The forward's representatives are already searching for a new club, and «Chelsea» hopes to complete the transfer without prolonged sagas in the coming week.
