Chelsea has reached a verbal agreement with Nottingham Forest for the transfer of 23-year-old English forward Liam Delap. The deal is expected to be around 45 million pounds, with the player already giving his approval and scheduled for a medical examination, as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano and John Percy.

The agreement is subject to final paperwork before being made official. Delap accepted the proposal after speaking with Oliver Glasner, who explained the role he would have within the team this season.

Chelsea finalizes Liam Delap's exit

Chelsea greenlights Liam Delap's departure just a year after signing him from Ipswich Town for around 30 million pounds in the summer of 2025.

The Forest deal will allow Chelsea to earn approximately 45 million pounds, more than the initial investment in the player. Delap also has a contract until June 30, 2031, giving the club room to negotiate his exit.

His 2025/26 season was marked by a lack of game time, playing 28 Premier League matches but starting in only 12, totaling just over 1,100 minutes in the league.

During that period, he scored one goal in the English league. A year earlier, he netted 12 times in 37 games for Ipswich, prompting Chelsea to trigger his release clause and sign him.

Nottingham Forest convinces the forward

Nottingham Forest emerged victorious in the race for the player after several Premier League clubs showed interest. Delap prioritized staying in England and having a more significant role.

The conversation with Oliver Glasner was decisive. The coach outlined how the forward would fit into the system, leading Delap to give the green light for the clubs to finalize the transfer conditions.

Forest sought another forward to bolster the squad, with options like Chris Wood, Igor Jesus, and Arnaud Kalimuendo already in place. The arrival of the 23-year-old forward strengthens the attacking choices before the transfer window closes.

This move signifies a significant change from Delap's recent situation at Stamford Bridge, where he had lost prominence, making his departure one of the club's priorities to address during the final weeks of August.

Medical examination, the final step

The verbal agreement for around 45 million pounds leaves only formal steps pending. The medical exam is already scheduled, and once completed successfully, Nottingham can finalize the necessary documentation to announce the transfer.

Chelsea can continue trimming their squad, with several players still uncertain about their future. The London club is active in more transfers before the window closes.

The next step will be Liam Delap's medical examination. If the tests proceed as expected, Chelsea will complete his sale to Nottingham Forest for around 45 million pounds, marking another exit before the end of the transfer window.
