The summer signing from Ipswich has seized his opportunity in the U.S. with his rival striker suspended for another brainless red card

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca is excited about what Liam Delap has to offer, with the striker’s adjustment to new surroundings being “quite quick”.

Chelsea have already recovered the £30 million ($40m) transfer fee they spent to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich Town by progressing to the round of 16 of the Club World Cup. The Blues finished second in their group, behind Flamengo, with six points from three matches and reached the knockout stage, where they will now lock horns against Portuguese giants Benfica.

Liam Delap is capable of becoming the next Diego Costa for Chelsea, claims Tore Andre Flo, with a £30m ($41m) punt taken on that being the case.
