Forest agree club-record deal for Chelsea's Delap

Nottingham Forest have agreed a club-record £50m deal to sign Liam Delap from Chelsea; striker moved to Stamford Bridge last summer, but scored just two goals in 41 games for the club; Chelsea are set to make a £15m profit having signed the 23-year-old for £30m

Nottingham Forest have agreed a club-record £50m deal to sign Liam Delap from Chelsea.

The transfer is understood to be worth at least £45m, which could reach £50m with add-ons.

Delap had interest from a number of other Premier League clubs, including Everton, but Forest have secured his signing.

Chelsea signed Delap last summer for £30m from Ipswich and valued him at around £50m this summer.

They have made a £15m profit on a striker who scored two goals in 41 appearances last season.

Forest's previous record transfer saw Omari Hutchison join for £37.5m from Ipswich Town in August 2025.
