Chelsea forward Liam Delap is reportedly considering a departure from Stamford Bridge during the current summer transfer window, with Nottingham Forest emerging as a primary destination. A report from The Telegraph indicates that Forest is eager to secure the 23-year-old following a failed attempt to recruit him previously.
The club has maintained a long-standing interest in the former Ipswich Town player, desiring his signature even before he joined the Blues. Nottingham Forest manager Oliver Glasner is reportedly a strong advocate for the striker. The organization is currently searching for a fast, physical attacker capable of scoring ten or more goals to serve as a partner to Chris Wood for the 2026/27 campaign.
Since arriving at Chelsea in 2025, Delap has struggled to reach his full potential. It remains uncertain if he will finalize a transfer away from Xabi Alonso’s squad.
