Despite a difficult start at Chelsea, young striker Liam Delap is attracting serious interest from Everton. With David Moyes rebuilding the squad for a European push, the Toffees could offer the 23-year-old the perfect chance to revive his career.
Everton has had a difficult period in the last couple of years. But since the change of ownership at the club, things seem to have changed for the better for Everton. They changed the stadium and went to play in a new stadium recently.
The new owners of the clubs, the Friedkin family, the American businessman, made the English club their second football club after Roma in Italy. A major change at the club was also the return at the club after many years of a well-known manager like David Moyes.
This is the second experience for Moyes as the manager of Everton. Moyes at the first time was the manager of Everton from 2002-2013. After 12 years, in January 2025 David Moyes returned as the manager of Everton with the sole objective of returning the club to the level of the past after several years in difficulties.
Last season under Moyes was a quiet season, and David achieved the objective for the club. Regarding this season, Everton is in a better position, and the club is fighting to qualify for the European competitions for next season.
Until now this season, Everton is in 8th place with 12 victories, 7 draws, and 10 losses with a total of 43 points. The Moyes team has a clear opportunity of achieving the European competitions next season. On the pitch, they are fighting, but the directors of the club are also already planning for the upcoming summer transfer market.
They are analyzing and watching different players in different positions inside the Premier League and also abroad, with the only goal to find the right players to make the team better. One area that the club is planning to invest heavily in is the attacking area.
One striker that Everton is looking closely at is the striker of Chelsea Liam Delap. The 23-year-old striker became part of the Blues in 2025, and his contract expires in 2031. His performances at Chelsea have been disappointed and he hasn’t been able to produce the performances that the fans and club expected from his arrival.
Delap until now has played a total of 27 matches in all competitions and has scored 2 goals and has given 4 assists. Despite his performances that haven’t been what was expected, Moyes see at Liam a potential striker with huge talent who can develop and become one of the best in the future.
Everton is ready to start a negotiation with the Blues for the English striker, and it remains to be seen if Chelsea is keen to leave the striker departure after only 1 year or if the Blues will give him another chance.
