Liam Rory Delap

Liam Delap attacks space and times runs behind as a center-forward who presses the back line for Chelsea. Liam Delap's career began with Manchester City, scoring on his senior debut in 2020 before moving on. He then shone for Ipswich Town. In 2024–25 he scored 12 goals for Ipswich, finishing top scorer amid team struggles. He joined Chelsea in 2025 for £30 million on a six-year deal. International note: he earned his first senior England training call-up in 2025–26. Liam Delap is a modern target man who holds up the ball, makes runs in behind, finishes with both feet, and presses high—giving Chelsea a direct outlet in transitions, with Delap finishing moves and getting shots off quickly in the box.
