Nottingham Forest have officially confirmed the signing of Liam Delap from Chelsea. It is a club-record deal, with Forest agreeing to pay Chelsea at least £45 million (€52 million). Chelsea sources said the total value of the package could be up to £50 million, including some additional benefits.

This is the second time Forest have broken their transfer record this transfer window, having previously signed centre-back Ousmane Diomande from Sporting CP for €40 million. Delap, who joined Chelsea from Ipswich Town last summer, underwent a medical on Wednesday and signed a five-year contract with the club.

Delap said after joining Forest, "I'm really desperate to get started, it's a big club with a big history. I spoke to the coach and I like his approach, I think he can help me develop. I hope to score goals here. I'm desperate to hear the crowd at the City Ground, because I know how loud and important they are. We can build a strong team and the main objective is to be the top club in the Premier League. Have to take the challenge of becoming."

Delap was not included in Chelsea's squad for their 3-2 win against Fulham on Monday and has been training apart from Xabi Alonso's squad. His number 9 shirt was given to João Pedro, before he left the club. Delap, 23, signed for Chelsea last year for €40 million after scoring 12 Premier League goals for Ipswich. However, his current season was hampered by injuries and he scored only once in the league. In 47 appearances in all competitions, Delap scored three goals and provided five assists. The reason for his exit from Chelsea is that the club is trying to solve the shortage of strikers behind first-choice Joao Pedro, while Nicholas Jackson and Marc Guieu could also potentially leave the club.

Delap joining Forest signals a fresh start for their team, and he is ready to showcase his skills on the field soon. His relationship with the club's coach Oliver Glasner and willingness to focus on development means he is expected to make an impact early on. Forest's main objective is to compete against the top clubs in the Premier League, and Delap could play a key role in achieving this goal.
