Delap also attracted interest from the likes of Manchester United, Newcastle United and Arsenal, as well as Chelsea. The striker has now revealed that he had a chat with Blues superstar Cole, who played with Delap through the Manchester City youth system, before deciding on a move to Stamford Bridge this summer.
Getty ImagesWHAT DELAP SAID
Speaking to club media, Delap talked about the familiar faces at Chelsea: "Obviously, I spent a lot of time with Cole [Palmer] and Romeo [Lavia] when I was young, growing up. I played many games with them and, you know, enjoyed it; and then Levi [Colwill], I played against him hundreds of times as a kid, we're similar age. So, I'm really excited to come here and start working with them.
When asked if he reached out to any of the players, he added: "Yeah, I spoke to them, of course. I've asked them for advice and they've told me how great of a place it is."
