Nottingham Forest adds Liam Delap to transfer targets as Chelsea weighs sale
Summary

Nottingham Forest has entered the transfer race for Chelsea striker Liam Delap. Reports indicate Delap, who is eager to remain in the Premier League, could leave Chelsea this summer as the club seeks to streamline its squad. His first season with Chelsea was challenging, scoring just once in the Premier League and twice overall. The asking price is reportedly set at £40 million, sparking potential negotiations as Forest looks for a new striker with Taiwo Awoniyi poised to join Coventry. Delap, with a previous record of 12 goals in a top-flight season, could provide a much-needed boost to Forest's attacking options.
