Overview
- Chelsea are assessing summer options for Liam Delap after a difficult first season in which he has scored two goals in 25 appearances.
- Football Insider reports the club could accept a big offer, with former scout Mick Brown citing a poor FA Cup display at Hull as sharpening doubts.
- Manager Liam Rosenior is described as reluctant to lose Delap unless an upgrade is secured, leaving any sale dependent on incoming recruitment.
- Everton are tracking the striker ahead of the window, and Brown says David Moyes would love to sign him given frustrations with Beto and Thierno Barry.
- Ex-Chelsea winger Pat Nevin has urged a move for Brentford’s 17-goal Igor Thiago as Joao Pedro continues to score and Emmanuel Emegha is due to arrive this summer.
