According to the latest Liam Delap transfer news, Chelsea are keen to offload the 23-year-old striker this summer.
Delap has slipped down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge and the west Londoners are reportedly happy to sell the former Ipswich man for £30-40million.
That has alerted a number of Premier League clubs and a race to secure Delap’s signature is set to ensue. And with that in mind, BetVictor News takes a closer look at four of the likeliest contenders from England’s elite who could acquire Delap this window.
Liam Delap Transfer News: Four Potential Premier League Suitors
Everton
Not since the 2020-21 season have Everton boasted a striker who scored more than 10 Premier League goals in a single campaign. Admittedly, Liam Delap is hardly a contender in the Premier League Golden Boot odds market but he would add the strength in depth David Moyes requires.
Beto and Thierno Barry aren’t likely to fire the Toffees to a European berth but Delap would give the Merseysiders another option. His physicality could be utilised to a great effect and he would suit Moyes’ style of play.
Leeds
Last season, Leeds defied the Premier League relegation odds mainly owing to Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s rich vein of goalscoring form midway through 2025-26. Whites supporters will be hoping he can fire the Yorkshire side to a top-half finish this term.
And if Liam Delap was drafted in, that would help alleviate the pressure on Calvert-Lewin. The former would prove an affordable signing and his impact – whether that be in the starting XI or off the bench – would be a real help to manager Daniel Farke’s cause.
Nottingham Forest
With plenty of cash to splash after the sale of Elliot Anderson, Nottingham Forest may enter the race for Liam Delap. Especially as the Tricky Trees will be eying a long-term replacement for Chris Wood. The Kiwi international shares a number of attributes with Delap, too.
New boss Oliver Glasner will want to see a vast improvement after Forest’s struggles in the league last term. And with Delap on board, the Reds have the potential to make themselves a competitive force once again in England’s elite.
Man United
12 months ago, the Liam Delap transfer news was rife with rumours that Man United were in contention when he was still at Ipswich. However, the 23-year-old opted for Chelsea instead but the Red Devils may renew their interest with European football back at Old Trafford.
It’s fair to assume that Delap wouldn’t be a regular starter but he could prove a very useful impact sub. The likes of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko would typically lead the attack but playing to Delap’s strengths could help grind out important results.
