The Guardian SportInjury problems with his shoulder and hamstring did not help but the lack of return means the Blues were open to selling the striker and Forest have taken the bait. If Delap does sell for £50m it also means Chelsea will make a £20m profit on the player after buying him from Ipswich for £30m in 2025.

We started with Chelsea so let’s end with the Blues. Enzo Fernández, who was met with a wall of boos when Chelsea played Fulham in their opening fixture, may not play in London for much longer. Manchester City will submit a bid for the Argentina midfielder before deadline day. If they do, it could be the biggest transfer of the summer so far with Chelsea reportedly wanting £120m for the 25-year-old.
