Nottingham Forest signs Liam Delap from Chelsea for £45 million
Summary

Liam Delap has transferred from Chelsea to Nottingham Forest for an initial fee of £45 million, which could rise to £50 million with add-ons. Delap, who struggled with one goal in 28 Premier League appearances last season, now seeks a fresh start at Forest.
