Liam Delap is reportedly the subject of advanced talks between Everton and Chelsea, who are negotiating terms ahead of a possible transfer. The forward has long been on the radar of Everton, who see him as the perfect addition to their squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch. Progress on talks has been made, though a final agreement is not yet in place and other clubs are said to be weighing-up whether to join the race for his signature. Everton remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Como, Leeds United and Nottingham continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. Alongside this, Chelsea are said to be exploring Lamine Camara, Jordan Henderson and Alex Scott with Everton likewise connected to Kyle Walker and Hector Fort. Want more transfer rumours like this?
