Liam Delap is a strong, physical striker known for his powerful runs, solid hold-up play, and power-shot finishing with both feet.

Works hard off the ball and is a nightmare for defenders in terms of duels, very difficult to handle.

I don't think he's of much difference to Jackson since both lack aerial strength and instinctive finishing which might be due to inexperience.

Only advantage he adds to the team is his physicality up-top especially when we go long and just slightly better finisher than Jackson, but at Chelsea you never know.

Liam Delap is expected to play for England in the Euro U21 Championship, which ends on June 28, while the Club World Cup runs until mid-July.

We said we may not agree with some of the transfers (Like I do with Delap), but the moment they join everything else doesn't matter.

We Must trust the decision makers.

Enzo Fernandez heat map against Real Betis

Low risk, premier league proven, has a completely different profile to Jackson and still has a lot of promise too.

Excellent signing

Not gonna lie maahn, what did Isco drink yesterday, Man was cooking us in that first half.How has he not retired? A generational talent.

‼️ Djordje Petrovic is open to a move to AS Monaco, however, the Premier League side's €25m valuation could prove an issue.

Benfica are understood to be progressing in talks, with their plan being to re-sign Felix on loan, though Chelsea’s preference would be for a permanent sale. Saudi Pro League teams and Brazilian club Flamengo recently showed an interest in Felix, but his preference is to stay in Europe.

All this talk about Gyokeres has me thinking about this guy.

But Bruno Fernandes played there and is the best midfielder in the league so we can't be sure.

Who does bro think he is? 💀

This is what FBCharts shows for both players in the past 365 days vs. forwards across Europe's top five leagues).

🚨🇧🇷 Strasbourg are set to sign Brazilian 16-year-old fullback Angelo Candido from São Paulo. He's one for the future with a potential view on a Chelsea move in the future.

Angelo was the stand-out player for Brazil at the recent U17 CONMEBOL.

Made no secret that I am unconvinced by him, but I decided to create a profile of his biggest strengths to provide balance.

Tactical Fit - He has plenty of experience holding width for Dortmund, and appears to fit the mould of a winger that Maresca wants.

Club Knowledge - Joe Shields recruited Gittens to Man City at 14 (per Secret Scout), and knows his character and attitude. Enzo Maresca coached him in the City Development Squad.

Experience - Despite being only 18 months older than George, he has 40 Bundesliga starts and the experience to come in and start Premier League games.

Dribbling - His dribbling data is exceptional, among the best in Bundesliga and is a differentiator at progressing the ball. This will fit Maresca’s system — as he will progress the ball reliably whilst maintaining control.

Shooting - He strikes the ball well, and takes shots from aggressive positions that our current wingers do not do enough. Watch some of his strikes, as well as his shooting data.

Familiarity - He has played with Palmer, Lavia, Delap before, and that is a strength to this deal that should not be underestimated.

What do you guys think of Gittens?
