Chelsea are set for a busy summer transfer window. They are linked with world-class players across whole Europe. One top journalist believes that they can sign their top target if they are able to do one thing in particular.
The Blues are set to welcome new faces in almost all parts of the pitch. Firstly, their top priority will be to improve their defence and hence atleast 2 new defenders are expected. As of now, Marc Guehi and Dean Huijsen are their top targets for summer.
Chelsea are also in search of new midfielder, winger and a striker. Lastly, they can also opt to sign a new keeper due to current keepers finding it hard to perform well. There are many names linked with the club in all respective areas.
Chelsea have Nicolas Jackson as the main striker right now. They have Marc Guiu as backup but as of now both of these strikers are injured. Enzo Maresca has used both Nkunku and Pedro Neto in the number nine position recently.
The Blues have Liam Delap as the top striker target this summer. Delap has impressed everyone ever since joining Ipswich Town in summer 2024. The Tractor Boys are in relegation battle and hence the player is very likely to move away this summer.
David Ornstein reveals what Chelsea need to do to sign Liam Delap
David Ornstein has reported that Chelsea have held a long-term interest in Liam Delap. But, he added that the Blues are not the only one. Lastly, he said that Chelsea can make their position strong in landing Delap if the qualify for UEFA Champions League.
🗣 David Ornstein: "I revealed the Delap interest in November, but Chelsea aren’t his only suitors. I suspect there’s a good chance his next move is to a Champions League club, and if so, that is a factor yet to be determined."

Delap is too good to play in Championship and hence him switching clubs in summer has very high chance. It will be interesting to see if he opts to join a club that plays in UCL. He surely has all the qualities to make his name in top strikers in the coming years.
