Fabregas targets second Chelsea star Delap after Chalobah Como move

Como manager Cesc Fabregas has sanctioned a move to sign Chelsea striker Liam Delap following the £30m acquisition of Trevor Chalobah this summer. Chalobah, the England centre-back who made 151 Chelsea appearances (including 47 last season), joined Como as a direct Fabregas request after their Stamford Bridge partnership.

Delap has been made available by Chelsea after a disappointing debut season, with Nottingham Forest also pursuing the 22-year-old forward. According to talkSPORT, Fabregas previously coached Delap in Chelsea's academy, adding familiarity to the potential reunion.

This pursuit underscores Fabregas' strategy to rebuild Chelsea connections at Como, relevant for Nigerian fans tracking Premier League alumni in Serie A. Chalobah's integration continues, and Delap's arrival would significantly boost Fabregas' attacking options ahead of the new season.

Will Delap choose Como over Forest, and how might this Chelsea-linked duo impact Como's Serie A campaign?
