Delap Joins Forest in £45m Record Deal

Liam Delap has joined Nottingham Forest in a club-record £45m deal from Chelsea, ending his time at Stamford Bridge where he wasn't part of Xabi Alonso's plans.

The 23-year-old striker has signed a five-year contract at Forest, his third club in three seasons. Forest's new manager Oliver Glasner made Delap a priority during the transfer window, with the player expressing excitement about joining the club.

Delap, who scored two goals after joining Chelsea for £30m, said: 'I really can't wait to get started. This is a massive club with a big history. I spoke to the manager and I like his way, I think he can be the one to really help me develop and make that next step and hopefully I can bring goals here.' umafrika.club
