Nottingham Forest have splashed a club record reported fee of £45 million ($61 million) to sign out-of-favour Chelsea striker Liam Delap.

The 23-year-old has penned a five-year contract at the City Ground after failing to make the grade in one season at Chelsea.

Forest were in the market for a goalscorer after failing to find the net in two defeats to Leeds in the Premier League and League Cup to begin their season under new boss Oliver Glasner in disappointing fashion.
