Como Eye Liam Delap Transfer After Initial Approach
Como have made an initial approach to Chelsea regarding striker Liam Delap. The 23-year-old has struggled for regular playing time at Stamford Bridge after joining from Ipswich Town last summer. As a centre-forward, Delap is looking for a new challenge, and Como are keen to strengthen their attack.
Liam Delap is a 23-year-old centre-forward who has found it tough to break into the Chelsea starting lineup. With a strong goal-scoring record at Ipswich Town, Delap will be hoping to revive his career at a new club.

coachDelap’s career stats show he has scored 12 goals from 37 appearances for Ipswich Town in 2024-25, and two goals from 41 appearances across all competitions for Chelsea. This goal-scoring ability has caught the attention of Como, who are looking to bolster their attacking options.
Como are the primary suitors for Delap’s signature, with the Italian club looking to strengthen their attack under Cesc Fabregas. The club has already completed a €30m deal for defender Trevoh Chalobah and is now turning its attention to signing a new centre-forward.

Delap would be expected to compete with Anastasios Douvikas for a starting spot at Como. The Italian club is looking for a new centre-forward to rotate with Douvikas, and Delap’s goal-scoring ability makes him an attractive option.
Starting Spot Competition at Como
Delap would face competition from Douvikas for a starting spot at Como. However, with Alvaro Morata potentially leaving the club, Delap could find himself with a regular starting spot if he can impress Cesc Fabregas.
Transfer Spending at Como
Como’s transfer spending has been significant this summer, with the club completing a €30m deal for Trevoh Chalobah. The potential signing of Delap would add to this spending, but the club is keen to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the initial approach has been made, and negotiations are ongoing. Fabrizio Romano.
