Liam Delap completes club-record move to Nottingham Forest

Overview

As of August 26, 2026, Nottingham Forest completed the club-record signing of 23-year-old striker Liam Delap from Chelsea. The deal is a total package worth up to £50 million, comprising a £45 million fixed fee and £5 million in add-ons. Delap signed a five-year contract running until June 2031, following a period at Chelsea where injuries and limited playing time restricted him to three goals in 47 appearances.

Manager Oliver Glasner, who prioritized the signing to bolster an attack lacking Taiwo Awoniyi, described Delap as the ‘perfect player’ for the club due to his physicality, pace, and ability to run in behind defenses.

Following this major acquisition, the standing of veteran striker Chris Wood has reportedly diminished. The 34-year-old New Zealand international is being considered for sale to balance the club’s recent expenditures. West Ham United has expressed serious interest in Wood, while Leeds United, Olympiakos, and Beşiktaş are also monitoring his situation. Additionally, Nottingham Forest is reportedly pursuing Crystal Palace’s Daniel Munoz with a £22 million bid to strengthen their wing-back positions.
