The Athletic reporting that Delap has expressed a preference for CFC, subject to contract negotiations etc.
Strong, direct threat similar to Jackson (and maybe as currently unrefined), but Chelsea clearly benefit when they have a forward who stretches defences and creates space for Palmer and co.
I can see the logic.

Spot on. The thing with someone like Sesko or Ekitike is they drop short to receive the ball all the time. No good for players like Palmer who like to find space.
Osihmen will likely go to Saudi. So that only leaves Delap or Gyokores. I'd be happy with either.

Dan I'd love to see both Gyokeres and Delap at CFC but seems it will be Delap who is quite a classic style number 9 not easy to knock off the ball and should be a handful for defenders.

Or Delap and Ekitike even.

There is probably an obvious answer but why are Utd not linked with Gyokeres?

I'm not sure they have the facilities do they. Probably have to sell Bruno? Also, would he want the move in uniteds current situation.

Gyokeres woudl surely want more Champions League football I'd think dan23 and did get 6 gioals from 8 games in CL this last season.

If Utd sell Bruno, it lowers their ceiling but maybe also raises their floor.

The manager knows him so well and yet it doesn’t seem as if he wants him at Utd. It probably is because he doesn’t want to play for a club that from the outside is a basket case but it doesn’t feel right to me! Of course as mentioned it could just be e a desire of the player to play CL football.
