Nottingham Forest are in advanced talks with Chelsea over a potential move for striker Liam Delap. Multiple reports say the 23-year-old is a key candidate as Forest look to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes in about a week.
Forest head coach Oliver Glasner says he is confident two more players will arrive at the club before the deadline, and Delap could be one of them. The striker previously drew interest from Forest when he chose to join Chelsea from Ipswich, and he is currently out of favour at Stamford Bridge, training separately from Chelsea’s first-team setup.
One report adds that Delap is left out of Chelsea’s match squad and notes his recent output for the club. It also frames possible financial details, with one outlet reporting a figure around £50m for the deal, while mentioning Delap’s earlier transfer from Ipswich in June 2025. Overall coverage aligns on Forest’s pursuit and Delap’s availability, while differing on timing specifics and the reported valuation.
