Softfootball understands that Liam Delap would prefer to remain in the Premier League despite interest from Italian side Como.
The Chelsea striker is hoping Premier League clubs make proposals as he considers his options ahead of the final two weeks of the summer transfer window.
Como have identified Delap as a leading target for their attack and made an initial approach for the 23-year-old, as reported by Softfootball yesterday.
The Serie A club’s strong relationship with Chelsea following the agreement for Trevoh Chalobah could help facilitate further discussions over Delap’s potential departure.
However, Delap’s preference is currently to remain in England, with the striker keen to see whether opportunities emerge from Premier League clubs before considering a move abroad.
His situation remains one to watch as Chelsea assess their options and the transfer window enters its decisive final stages.
Como’s approach now adds another layer to Delap’s situation, with Chelsea expected to assess the proposal and the striker’s position as the transfer window enters its final stages.
