Liam Delap has struggled mightily since he arrived at Chelsea for almost 35 million. Now Italian Como can save him, at a discounted price of course.
Liam Delap joined Chelsea from Ipswich before the season – but has never got it right, together with the fact that there have been injuries not in the picture, it doesn’t get any better.

The 23-year-old, who cost almost 400 million kroner, played 47 games last season. Conclusion: only 3 goals. Now it is rumored that the attacker is moving on.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano states that Italian Como have made an initial contact to arrange a transfer. According to the information, it is far from impossible for the parties to agree on an agreement.
Como recently signed another Chelsea player – Trevoh Chalobah. Now Delap could be next.
Como’s incredible journey: From Serie D to top football in just a few years
Como 1907 is a club with an extraordinary history in recent years.
Just a couple of seasons ago, the club played in Italy’s fourth division – Serie D. After a financial collapse and forced relegation in 2016, the future looked bleak for the traditional club from the lake of the same name.
But then the investors came. In 2019, Como was acquired by a consortium led by the Indian company Djarum – and with financial weight in place, one of football’s most impressive ups began.
- 2020/21: Promotion to Serie C.
- 2021/22: Promotion to Serie B.
- 2023/24: Promotion to Serie A for the first time in 21 years.
This summer, Como has taken further steps. They have brought in star players such as Cesc Fàbregas (now assistant manager) and several high-profile names. The club have also secured Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea – and are now chasing Liam Delap.

With an ambitious owner, an ever-growing squad and a manager with international experience, Como has become one of Italy’s most exciting projects. They don’t just want to survive in Serie A – they want to establish themselves.
Now Delap could be their next scoop. The question is whether Chelsea are willing to sell – and whether Delap himself sees Como as the right place to revive his career.
