Liam Delap joins Nottingham Forest as Chelsea make significant profit on struggling striker

Liam Delap Chelsea Nottingham Forest Forest
  • Liam Delap has completed a club-record £45m transfer from Chelsea to Nottingham Forest, signing a five-year contract at the City Ground.
  • The 23-year-old forward was made available for transfer after being informed by Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso that he was not part of his first-team plans.
  • Nottingham Forest's newly appointed manager Oliver Glasner prioritised the signing of Delap to provide much-needed firepower following a poor start to their Premier League and Carabao Cup campaigns.
  • Chelsea secured a profit on Delap after acquiring him for £30m from Ipswich 12 months ago, despite the striker scoring only twice across all competitions last season.
  • The transfer was finalised in time for Delap to potentially make his Forest debut against Liverpool on Saturday, while Chelsea continue to evaluate further transfer moves before the window closes.
