TOM COLLOMOSSE: Without a win or even a goal at the City Ground this season, Nottingham Forest are still to splutter into life under their new boss Oliver Glasner.
Liam Delap says Oliver Glasner played a big part in his decision to sign for Nottingham Forest because he feels he "can really improve" under his coaching. The 23-year-old striker was made available for sale this summer by Chelsea after he scored just one Premier League goal in a 2025-26 campaign disrupted by shoulder and hamstring injuries. Delap's frustrating season was off the back of a hugely successful one at Ipswich Town in which he scored 12 goals in 37 Premier League games.
After a difficult year at Chelsea the striker hopes to get his career back on track at the City Ground“You can imagine it: he’s a centre-back, I’m a striker,” says Liam Delap, Nottingham Forest’s £45m club-record signing, smiling as he sets the scene. He is reliving taking on his younger brother, Finn, in the garden. These days, they are each other’s biggest supporters – Liam attended Finn’s victory for third-tier Burton on Wednesday – but as kids there was a friendly rivalry. The elder brother says: “There were probably a lot of tears, a lot of fights … whether it was playing Monopoly or football, it always ended in either the table being flipped or kicking the shit out of each other.”It is a competitive streak that has stuck and Delap is determined to make his presence felt at Forest, for whom he could make his full debut against Tottenham on Saturday. It has been a testing 16 months; he left Chelsea a season into a six-year contract and after one goal in 28 top-flight appearances, a dozen of those starts. “It is never a linear path straight to the top,” Delap says, his right hand taking flight in the City Ground boardroom, the 1979 and 1980 European Cups shimmering behind him. “I just want to get my head down, focus and keep improving because I’m still so young and I have so much to learn. I even at times probably think I’ve been in football a lot longer than I have. I’ve still, hopefully, got a long career ahead. Continue reading...
Jackson didn't do overly well at Bayern, where he didn't play much. Delap bombed at Chelsea where he scored once in the league. Yet Chelsea have moved both players on at significant profit.
Desailly wants another signing up front (Picture: Catherine Steenkeste/Getty Images) Chelsea legend Marcel Desailly has urged the club to take another run at signing Victor Osimhen before the summer transfer window closes. Joao Pedro picked up from where he left off last season with a superb display leading the Blues attack against Fulham, getting on the score sheet in a 3-2 win in their opening game of the campaign on Monday. Danny Welbeck has also been brought in to provide another option up top with Liam Delap leaving the club after just one season to join Nottingham Forest. Nicolas Jackson meanwhile has joined Aston Villa in a £65million deal while RB Leipzig are in talks to sign Marc Guiu.

Chelsea were close to signing Osimhen two summers ago when he was still at Napoli only for the move to fall apart at the last minute. He instead joined Galatasaray where he has spent the last two seasons. Arsenal have explored a move for the Nigeria international in recent weeks with the Gunners still eager to recruit another centre forward. The Nigeria international is reportedly still open to a move to the Premier League with legend Desailly believing Chelsea still ‘need that kind of player.’ Arsenal had talks over a move for Osimhen this month (Picture: Ahmad Mora/Getty Images) ‘Osimhen, absolutely. He brings spirit and respect, strong respect from opponents and from his teammates,’ Desailly told Metro via SportsCasting. ‘He can be a bit unpredictable sometimes, but you need that kind of player who can justify his stature and his behaviour through performance, but also through a bit of controversy. He’s strong, and he can bring that spirit to Chelsea. ‘As for Jackson, he’s gone to Aston Villa now. Honestly, I would have brought in a proper number-nine type striker. The problem is there aren’t many strikers out there who could help Chelsea in the long run.’ Chelsea return to Premier League action on Sunday afternoon when they host Brighton at Stamford Bridge.

Forest led twice, but were denied a third successive Premier League win at Liverpool by Víctor Muñoz’s emphatic 82nd-minute equaliser.The visitors’ second goal, from a penalty converted by Morgan Gibbs-White, stemmed from a throw-in taken quickly by Liam Delap while Iraola was attempting to make a triple substitution.

Morgan Gibbs-White missed Nottingham Forest’s last match with a knee issue (Photo: Getty) Oliver Glasner has given an injury update on Morgan Gibbs-White ahead of Nottingham Forest’s Premier League clash at Liverpool. Forest travel to Anfield for Saturday’s early kick-off, with Glasner still looking for his first win since leaving Crystal Palace for the City Ground. Forest suffered a late defeat to Leeds United in their Premier League opener last weekend, before being dumped out of the Carabao Cup by the same opponents.

The attacking midfielder, a popular pick on Fantasy Premier League, was a doubt for the Liverpool game as a result, but Glasner has now confirmed he is fit to start the big match. ‘Morgan is available, and Ryan Yates is available, which is good news,’ the Austrian manager said in his pre-match press conference on Friday. ‘But Ibrahim [Sangare] has picked up a minor calf injury in Wednesday’s training session and will miss tomorrow’s game. But the other two are available.’ Oliver Glasner is still looking for his first win as Forest manager (Photo: Getty) Following the two losses to Leeds, in which Forest failed to score a goal, Glasner has splashed the cash on a new striker, signing Liam Delap from Chelsea in a deal worth up to £50million. The Englishman could make his debut for his new club this weekend, with Glasner saying: ‘We were in talks for many days to be honest, we tried to convince him and obviously we could convince Liam that Nottingham Forest is the right club, at the right moment for where he is in his career. ‘Also I think, before he picked Chelsea, everybody in the Premier League wanted Liam after his amazing season at Ipswich. Forest have signed Liam Delap from Chelsea for an initial £45m (Photo: Getty) ‘When we heard that it was possible [to sign Delap] and we were looking for a striker, with physicality and especially pace and runs in behind. We had other profiles, with a top, top striker in the box with Chris Wood, a proven Premier League goalscorer. ‘We are playing more with a number nine, with Igor [Jesus]. We were looking for this profile and Liam was the fit. We are the perfect club for him and I am convinced that he is the perfect player for us.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.
