With yesterday’s surprising news that Chelsea are looking at Danny Welbeck to come in and be Joao Pedro’s backup, the need to sell Liam Delap has only grown.
The striker always felt like he was going to be the most likely to leave out of our attacking options, and that feeling has only increased now another forward is set to join.

TeamTalk’s report on the striker claims that his representatives are in talks with “several Premier League clubs”, and that Chelsea have told him he’s free to leave.
The former Ipswich man scored just one Premier League goal last season, but despite that, “interest in Delap remains strong.”
“Chelsea paid around £30million to sign the striker, and we understand they will only sanction his departure if they receive a fee that delivers a profit on that investment.
“Sources insist that is unlikely to deter his suitors, with a number of clubs expressing interest in a deal.”
Everton continues to be named as the most likely destination, with Brighton and Fulham also in the mix.
