Fabrizio Romano was on a big transfer round-table last night, and as you’d expect, Chelsea were a hot topic.
The Blues’ need for a striker has been brought into sharper focus by the fact that Nicolas Jackson is injured right now, leaving poor Enzo Maresca without a recognised first team striker.
According to Romano, the coach has already picked out the man he wants however – and it’s a name he keeps bringing up in recruitment meetings with his bosses: Liam Delap.
“[Delap is] on the list, for sure. He’s a player they appreciate. They already made some contact in January to understand the financial package needed. For Ipswich, it was obviously impossible to accept any proposal in January,” Romano said on GiveMeSport’s Market Madness.
“He was untouchable, but in the summer, it will be different, so for sure he’s on the list for Chelsea. For sure he’s a player they appreciate, for sure he’s one of the names Enzo Maresca keeps mentioning in internal meetings they’re having because he obviously knows the player since they were together at Manchester City’s academy. So Delap is there.”
Maresca has already openly praised towering striker who looks ready to step up
We can well believe that Maresca is bringing Delap’s name up in those meetings because we’ve already heard the Chelsea boss speak about the youngster following his starring role in Ipswich’s win over the Blues back in December.
Sack Chelsea coach. He doesn’t know what to do now. Please bring back TUCHEL. HE IS THE BEST COACH EVER
Maresca also trying as its first season
This coach is very small for Chelsea please that’s why he’s going for small small players who is Delap?
How many goals can he offer fuck this coach and administration very poor I promise you guys you’ll soon loose big you keep spending on what you shouldn’t at all.
Wasting money up and down
So order clubs keep insulting us for spending meanwhile is the administration who do not have good head than to spend just because you’ve the money to spend.
You didn’t just spend money because you have it.
Identity what you want and go for it.

I can’t believe my dearly Chelsea will one day turn to wolves or less than Ipswich
Club that gave me joy without eating food now has turn children school training center for City, Arsenal Liverpool and the rest.
Have you ever ask your self how many of your players can make City or Arsenal square before?
Chelsea are known for winning just win . No wonder some Chelsea fans stop supporting the team.
I see that UK government and Americans want to finally kill Chelsea as plan for long
