Chelsea Set £30m Asking Price for Liam Delap as Everton Emerge as Front-Runner

A poor first season has pushed the striker toward an exit from Stamford Bridge.

Overview

  • Chelsea will seek to recoup the full £30m they paid if they sell Delap this summer, according to multiple reports published Wednesday.
  • Everton are widely described as leading suitors for the 23-year-old as the club looks for more reliable goals at center forward.
  • Reports say Chelsea discussed a loan to BlueCo-owned Strasbourg, which Delap has repeatedly turned down as he prefers to stay and compete.
  • The planned addition of Emanuel Emegha from Strasbourg would add another striker to Chelsea’s roster and could hasten a Delap move.
  • Delap has one Premier League goal in 25 appearances after a hamstring layoff, a return that has raised doubts about his role next season.
