Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleLiam Delap has completed a club-record £45m transfer from Chelsea to Nottingham Forest, signing a five-year contract at the City Ground. The 23-year-old forward was made available for transfer after being informed by Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso that he was not part of his first-team plans. Nottingham Forest's newly appointed manager Oliver Glasner prioritised the signing of Delap to provide much-needed firepower following a poor start to their Premier League and Carabao Cup campaigns. Chelsea secured a profit on Delap after acquiring him for £30m from Ipswich 12 months ago, despite the striker scoring only twice across all competitions last season. The transfer was finalised in time for Delap to potentially make his Forest debut against Liverpool on Saturday, while Chelsea continue to evaluate further transfer moves before the window closes.
