“I understand the stature of this club and can see the trajectory it is on with these players and the head coach,” said Delap, who has signed a six-year contract, in a Chelsea statement.
Chelsea have secured the signing of English striker Liam Delap from Ipswich Town for £30 million, fending off competition from Manchester United and Everton. The 22-year-old, who netted 12 Premier League goals last season, has signed a six-year contract at Stamford Bridge. Delap’s arrival strengthens Chelsea’s attack ahead of their Club World Cup campaign later this month.
“I understand the stature of this club and can see its trajectory,” Delap said in a club statement. “It’s an incredible place to develop, and I hope to help win more trophies.”
