According to the BBC, Chelsea’s efforts to bolster their attacking options in January have faced setbacks, particularly in their pursuit of Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap. Despite Delap’s impressive form, including a goal against Chelsea, Ipswich has no intention of selling the 21-year-old, who they signed for £20 million from Manchester City last summer. While other targets like Brighton’s Evan Ferguson and PSG’s Randal Kolo Muani are on the radar, securing a deal in January appears challenging as Chelsea seeks reinforcements following recent struggles in the Premier League.
Liam Delap Unavailable: Ipswich Town has refused to sell their star striker, citing his importance to their relegation battle.
Chelsea’s January Needs: With Nicolas Jackson performing well but limited support from Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix, Chelsea is exploring alternatives to strengthen their forward line.
Alternative Targets: The club may turn to other options, including PSG’s Randal Kolo Muani, but face stiff competition from Manchester United and Arsenal for his signature.
