Alan Shearer praises Chelsea’s signing of Delap and says the English forward could improve the team.
Alan Shearer has praised Chelsea’s signing of Liam Delap, describing the £30m deal as a “no-brainer.”
The former Newcastle United striker believes Delap will only improve at Chelsea and expects him to score more regularly in a better team. Shearer likened Delap to a traditional centre-forward, praising his aggression, movement, and goal-scoring ability.
Delap’s impressive form for Ipswich Town last season, scoring 12 Premier League goals despite the team’s relegation, caught the attention of several top clubs.
Shearer believes Chelsea has made a smart move by signing Delap, who he thinks has a bright future ahead of him. “He’s only going to get better,” Shearer said, highlighting Delap’s potential to thrive in a bigger team.
Shearer expressed his admiration for Delap’s playing style, describing him as “aggressive” and “horrible to play against.”
He also praised Delap’s ability to run in behind defenders and score goals. With Chelsea’s strong squad and resources, Shearer expects Delap to make a significant impact in his first season at Stamford Bridge.
