Everton pursues Chelsea forward Liam Delap this summer

Summary

Everton has emerged as the leading candidate to sign Chelsea forward Liam Delap, as reported by Football Insider. Following a disappointing season for Delap at Chelsea, where he managed only one Premier League goal, the club is open to a permanent sale. Everton previously attempted to acquire Delap and remains interested as they aim to bolster their attack after finishing 13th last season. Delap, known for his aggressive and direct playing style, fits the profile Everton seeks. The expected transfer fee may reach £40 million with potential add-ons, and Everton is motivated to finalize the deal before facing competition from other clubs.
