Chelsea have completed the signing of striker Liam Delap from Ipswich Town. The Athletic reported on May 29 that the two clubs had reached an agreement for the transfer of the 22-year-old with the England Under-21 international now signing a six-year deal at Stamford Bridge. Delap makes the switch after a £30million ($40m) release clause in his Ipswich contract became active following the team's relegation from the Premier League. Chelsea will pay £20m of the fee up front.
