Delap Joins Forest in Record £45m Move

Striker Liam Delap has become Nottingham Forest's record signing after completing a £45m move from Chelsea. The 23-year-old, who was told he was not part of Xabi Alonso's plans at Stamford Bridge, has signed a five-year contract at his third club in three seasons.

Forest's new manager Oliver Glasner made Delap a priority during the transfer window, and the forward expressed excitement about the move, saying: "I really can't wait to get started. This is a massive club with a big history. I spoke to the manager and I like his way, I think he can be the one to really help me develop and make that next step and hopefully I can bring goals here." amunra.qpon
