Chelsea have signed striker Liam Delap from Ipswich Town after activating his £30million release clause. The 22-year-old has agreed to a six-year contract, having decided on a move to Stamford Bridge over several other interested clubs.

Liam Delap signed a six-year contract with Chelsea on Wednesday through 2031 as their marquee striker signing of the summer, but fans won't have to wait until next season to see him don a blue shirt.

Chelsea have also confirmed an intriguing switch for Cole Palmer, who has cut his number in half, from No.20 to No.10. As with Delap, it’s a fitting assignment for our most creative player and who orchestrates our attack. Palmer was England U21’s No.10 as well.
