TRANSFER : Liam Delap is scheduled to get a medical at Chelsea on Monday.

Liam Delap is set to undergo a medical examination at Chelsea on Monday, according to recent reports. This move comes after Chelsea agreed to activate Delap’s £30 million release clause following Ipswich Town’s relegation from the Premier League. The 22-year-old striker has been a standout performer for Ipswich, scoring 10 goals in 28 Premier League appearances this season. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, who previously coached Delap at Manchester City, has expressed confidence in Delap’s potential, stating that he can become “an important player for England” .

Delap’s arrival is part of Chelsea’s broader strategy to strengthen their attacking options. The club is also in discussions to sign Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike, though his £84 million price tag presents a challenge. Additionally, Chelsea is monitoring RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško and is planning a strategic pre-agreement for Strasbourg’s Emanuel Emegha for the summer of 2026 .

With Delap’s medical scheduled for Monday, Chelsea fans can anticipate an official announcement of the signing in the coming days.
