Liam Delap, Nottingham Forest and Chelsea
27 August 2026
Liam Delap has completed his club-record £50 million transfer from Chelsea to Nottingham Forest. The 23-year-old striker signed a five-year contract at the City Ground after Forest previously reached an agreement with Chelsea for his move.
The official signing is a hard update from the earlier accepted agreement. Forest believe Oliver Glasner’s direct attacking approach can better use Delap’s pace and physicality after a difficult Chelsea season affected by injuries and limited league goals.
