Newcastle joins Everton in race for Liam Delap amid Chelsea's roster changes

Newcastle United is reportedly one of the leading contenders to sign Chelsea striker Liam Delap this summer. Following Chelsea's acquisition of Danny Welbeck, questions arise about Delap's position and playing time at Stamford Bridge. Delap initially chose Chelsea over Newcastle in 2025 but has seen limited scoring opportunities since, making a potential move to Newcastle increasingly plausible. Reports indicate that both Newcastle and Everton are interested in renewing their pursuit of the England Under-21 international as the transfer window approaches its deadline.
