Chelsea have officially secured the signing of highly-rated striker Liam Delap after triggering his £30 million release clause from Ipswich Town. The 21-year-old completed his medical today, sealing a move to Stamford Bridge as the first major attacking reinforcement under new manager Enzo Maresca.
Delap, known for his pace, physicality, and eye for goal, impressed during his time at Ipswich, helping the club gain promotion while showcasing significant growth and maturity in his game. His performances attracted strong interest, but Chelsea acted swiftly to land the forward Maresca personally requested.
The former Manchester City academy talent now reunites with Maresca, who worked with him at youth level and believes in his potential to thrive at the top level.
With Chelsea continuing their rebuild, Delap’s arrival signals a new attacking era — one centered around youth, hunger, and tactical versatility.
