“Face to face talks took place this week” – Romano reveals shock new club in race for top Chelsea target
Everton have entered the race for top Chelsea transfer target Liam Delap and held a direct meeting with the striker according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Blues are once again set for a busy summer and could look to fund their business by selling as many as seven or eight players.
Chelsea face a critical window with the club looking to sign a centre back, right footed attacker and striker to bolster Enzo Maresca’s squad.
Everton enter the race for Delap
A striker is absolutely the main priority and Chelsea have paid the price for failing to sign an alternative to Nicolas Jackson both last summer and in January.
The Blues have identified Delap as one of their top targets, with the 22-year-old available for £30m following Ipswich’s relegation.
Maresca is a fan of Delap and the England under-21 international has scored 12 league goals in his debut campaign.

Chelsea face competition from Manchester United and Newcastle, but Romano has confirmed Everton have made an approach.
He took to X.com and said:
“Everton have presented their project to Liam Delap in direct meeting with David Moyes involved.
“Face to face talks took place this week, as Chelsea and Man United remain keen on Ipswich striker.
“£30m clause available, Everton would be ready to offer an important salary.”
Chelsea target Ekitike and Sesko
If the Blues were to miss out on Delap they do have other options on their shortlist.
Bundesliga duo Hugo Ekitike and Benjamin Sesko are said to be of interest to to the Stamford Bridge outfit.
Chelsea have reportedly contacted Ekitike, with Frankfurt said to want up to €100m for the 22-year-old.
