The sale of Delap is a significant move for both clubs, with the 23-year-old striker breaking Nottingham Forest's transfer fee record despite a disappointing 2025-26 season. Chelsea will make a £20m profit on the player if he sells for £50m, as they bought him from Ipswich for £30m in 2025.
Nottingham Forest's interest in Delap is not the only deal they are trying to complete before the transfer deadline. The club is also interested in Corinthians and Brazil midfielder André. Meanwhile, Chelsea is open to selling other players, including Enzo Fernández, who may be sold to Manchester City for £120m.
