Forest agree club-record fee for Chelsea's Delap

Nottingham Forest have agreed a club-record fee to sign Chelsea striker Liam Delap, with the 23-year-old set to undergo a medical and finalize a long-term contract at the City Ground this week. The deal, reportedly worth an initial 45 million pounds that could rise to 50 million pounds with add-ons, marks a significant investment by Forest as they seek to bolster their attack following a disappointing start to the Premier League season. Delap's transfer comes a year after he joined Chelsea from Ipswich Town for 30 million pounds, a move that saw him compete with interest from Manchester United and Everton.
