In a swift and assertive move, Chelsea have officially activated the £30 million release clause for Liam Delap, the 22-year-old forward who impressed with Ipswich after his £20m switch from Manchester City last summer.
🔍 Key Details:
Delap was granted permission earlier this month to explore interest from top clubs.
Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna confirmed the striker was evaluating offers, adding:
“Liam’s looking at his options for next year, which I think he is entitled to do and we support him with that.”
💬 With Chelsea eager to revamp their attacking options, Delap’s strength, work rate, and goal threat are seen as valuable additions to the squad. A medical is expected soon.
