Chelsea reporter names striker Blues expected to turn to if they do not land Liam Delap | OneFootball

A Chelsea reporter has named a striker that Chelsea are expected to turn to if they cannot land Liam Delap in the summer window.

The news comes off the back of Chelsea only managing to draw 2-2 at home with Ipswich Town on Sunday, a team who are destined to be in the Championship again next season.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea now eyeing 21-year-old attacker from Spain this summer!

One BBC pundit has pinned the blame on the players for the draw on Sunday, saying that they have to take a long hard look at themselves after that poor performance.

And head coach Enzo Maresca has also picked out two of his players for making some mistakes in the game which he believes was not good enough and cost them.

Overall though it was so poor, and blame really must be shared between the head coach, the manager, and those who have built an unbalanced squad at Chelsea that severely lacks quality experience and balance.

Chelsea are on the hunt to sign a new striker in the summer transfer window and are continuing to be linked with a string of big names to come in, but face real competition for all of them.

If no Delap, then what?

Liam Delap of Ipswich Town has been named as Chelsea’s main target to sign this summer, but if he ends up going elsewhere, where would Chelsea turn next?

Top Chelsea reporter Simon Phillips has the latest on the striker situation via a huge sourced article on his Substack site.

He says:

“One player who our sources believe actually is quite possible if Chelsea do not land Delap is Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig.

“Despite some concerns internally at Chelsea as to whether he is suited to the Premier League, sources have been hearing more and more on Sesko and Chelsea have been seriously considering making use of his release clause. Contacts have been made too.’
