Why Everton have their answer for Liam Delap transfer after asking price reveal

Everton will have to make a massive financial commitment to sign Liam Delap from Chelsea.

The English striker was a target for the Toffees last summer, but he instead moved to Stamford Bridge and faces an uncertain future after a season of struggles.

With the Blues still interested in the 23-year-old, David Moyes could have a new centre-forward in L3 soon.

Delap may have an option to reignite his career at Hill Dickinson Stadium if an agreement can be reached with Chelsea.

The striker showed immense potential during his time at Ipswich Town, but he hasn't been able to live up to expectations in London.

Beto and Thierno Barry could arguably do with some competition in the squad, although the Merseyside outfit may already know where they stand in the pursuit of the English attacker.

How much Chelsea want for Liam Delap amid Everton interest

Moyes still wants Delap at Everton, but they face competition from Nottingham Forest and others.

Chelsea triggered the striker's £30million release clause last summer, but are now open to selling him for the right price.

Despite the Englishman's underwhelming experience at Stamford Bridge, the London club want £50m to sanction his sale, according to Standard Sport.

The news outlet has reported that Chelsea are looking to offload several first-team players with less than three weeks left in the transfer window.

Xabi Alonso's team aren't in any European competition during the 2026-27 campaign and are looking to trim their squad.

Danny Welbeck recently moved to Stamford Bridge from Brighton & Hove Albion, with a number of strikers now surplus to requirements in SW6.

What Friedkin Group will think of Liam Delap deal

Everton haven't been overly big spenders since The Friedkin Group took over from Farhad Moshiri.

The American owners have brought a bit of stability back to the Toffees, but fans now want to see ambition from them.

Over the last few transfer windows, the Blues have been reluctant to invest heavily in their squad, something that has continued this summer.

At £50m, Delap arguably isn't worth the price and the Merseyside outfit may already have their answer in their pursuit of him.

What TFG should do next is try to add more quality to Moyes' squad and give supporters something to look forward to ahead of next season.
