Transfer rumour roundup: Chelsea ready to offload Delap; Newcastle fight Hall exit
Transfer rumour roundup: Chelsea ready to offload Delap; Newcastle fight Hall exit With the season almost over and the transfer window approaching, the rumour mill is heating up. Today's transfer rumours feature Liam Delap , Harry Wilson , and Lewis Hall. Liam Delap's debut season at Chelsea has been a disaster and the forward's wayward elbow against Tottenham was the latest lowlight for the struggling striker.
Delap had been one of the hottest properties of last summer's window, but Chelsea are now ready to move him on. Football Insider inform us that Chelsea will let Delap leave if they can recoup their £30m investment. Everton are ready to renew their interest.
Also on Everton's recruitment radar is Fulham free agent Harry Wilson. The Welsh winger looks likely to leave Craven Cottage in the summer, with Everton and Aston Villa leading the chase. Sky Sports say the Toffees will try to persuade Wilson to return to the North West, but the carrot of Champions League football has Villa as frontrunners.
Newcastle endured a window of unrest last summer and the early signs are another is in store. Anthony Gordon is pushing for an exit, while the Magpies face a battle to hold onto Lewis Hall . TEAMtalk tell us that Manchester United and Liverpool lead the race for the left-back, who could quit for a Champions League club after his World Cup snub with England.
Newcastle will fight to hold onto the 21-year-old, but bids are expected. Manchester United also remain right involved for another Newcastle name: Sandro Tonali . The Italian is on the club's midfield rebuild plan, and Sky Italia claim there is 'growing confidence' from the Red Devils over a double deal for Tonali and Atalanta midfielder Ederson.
