Liam Delap’s rocky Chelsea journey leaves pundits questioning his future
Liam Delap’s Chelsea career has had its ups and downs since his £30 million move from Ipswich. The young striker impressed early but has struggled with injuries and inconsistent form. His latest display against Burnley left even pundits like Michael Owen puzzled.
Chelsea signed Delap after triggering his release clause following Ipswich’s relegation. He made an instant impact, scoring in just his second appearance at the Club World Cup. A penalty in a friendly soon followed, raising hopes for his Premier League debut.
Delap’s journey at Chelsea has been stop-start so far. With Maresca’s backing, he will look to recover form and finally open his Premier League account. For now, the club’s attack relies on others while he regains his sharpness.
