Chelsea remain active in the January transfer market, targeting Premier League forward Liam Delap from Ipswich Town. The 21-year-old striker has impressed this season with eight goals in 19 league appearances, including recent goals against Chelsea and Fulham. Despite Ipswich’s insistence that Delap is not available for transfer, the player himself is reportedly keen on the move. Enzo Maresca, who has praised Delap’s “fantastic” potential, could view him as a future star for both Chelsea and the England national team.

- Ipswich's Position: Ipswich are adamant about retaining Delap during the current transfer window.
- Player’s Interest: Delap is reportedly eager to join Chelsea, possibly due to the opportunity to challenge for the No.9 role.
