Liam Delap, who scored two goals in his debut season, no longer has the No.9 shirt, which has been given to striker Joao Pedro. Delap is also training alone.

According to Team Talk, Everton is the leading club in the pursuit of a striker who is looking for a move to secure regular first-team football. Several Premier League clubs have been exploring a move, and Everton, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa have all had conversations about Delap’s situation. In recent weeks, Nottingham Forest, like Everton, has continued to pursue a move. Chelsea remains open to selling and is currently maintaining their £40m valuation. Delap is expected to leave Chelsea before the end of the window.

According to an exclusive report from TEAMtalk, Everton continue to lead the pursuit of Liam Delap after Chelsea informed the striker that he can leave Stamford Bridge this summer. Everton have already held talks with Chelsea, during which the London club clarified their position and set an asking price of £40 million for the 23-year-old. Chelsea sources have confirmed to TEAMtalk that they expect Delap to have left by the end of August. The club also indicated his position within Alonso’s plans by leaving him out of the squad for their final pre-season friendly against Real Sociedad. Everton remain the leading club interested and continue to work on a deal, with Chelsea ready to sell and Delap increasingly focused on finding his next club.

Liam Delap is hoping that Everton will make their interest in him official.

Chelsea are prepared to listen to offers for Liam Delap as Xabi Alonso begins to reduce an overcrowded group of centre-forwards. According to The Athletic, Delap is among the Chelsea players most likely to leave. The Blues want more than the £30 million they paid Ipswich for the player and could seek a fee closer to £40 million. Everton have been linked with Delap, and Sky Sports reports that the club explored a loan after previously trying to sign him before his move to Chelsea. However, a temporary deal would not necessarily suit Chelsea unless it included a substantial fee or an obligation to buy. Interest from two Premier League clubs could help Chelsea create competition and protect their asking price. Everton's need for a stronger central striker and the involvement of other clubs may force them to consider a permanent bid rather than waiting for Chelsea to lower their demands.

Delap considers David Moyes’ project at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium a particularly attractive option, as the Toffees can provide the regular first-team football that he believes is crucial at this point in his career. Everton's offer of a leading role is consequently a significant attraction. Sources close to the player have stressed that financial considerations will not determine his next move. Instead, Delap's priority is to find a suitable sporting project to revitalize his career.

Delap has made a public commitment to stay for a minimum of one more season, with the hope of impressing Alonso and increasing his playing time for Chelsea. While the possibility of a loan has been raised, it is not currently Chelsea's preferred option.
