Hull City pursue Liam Delap after Premier League promotion

Summary

Hull City aims to re-sign Liam Delap from Chelsea as they prepare for their return to the Premier League. The Tigers secured promotion after defeating Middlesbrough 1-0 in the Championship play-off final last month. Delap, who scored eight goals during his loan at Hull in the 2023/24 season, ended his recent Chelsea campaign with a 26-game goal drought. While Hull is interested, they face competition from Ipswich Town, Newcastle United, and Everton, as Chelsea seeks to recover their £30 million investment from Delap's transfer.
