Liam Delap’s decision to choose Chelsea over Manchester United is starting to come into focus and manager Enzo Maresca has now explained exactly what convinced the young forward to make the move.

Enzo Maresca confirmed Chelsea's plans to sign a new winger this summer and the Blues have made a fresh enquiry over a potential option.

The 22-year-old striker is expected to leave Eintracht Frankfurt soon, with PSG set to receive 20 percent of any transfer fee due to a sell-on clause. According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea remain interested in Ekitiké.

Chelsea are reportedly still in for Everton centre back Jarrad Branthwaite according to two new updates today but they face competition. Blues boss Enzo Maresca has already given his thoughts about new signings Liam Delap, Dario Essugo, and Mamadou Sarr who all join his squad out in America for the Club World Cup this summer.

Chelsea have opened talks to sign a replacement for Jadon Sancho during the Club World Cup, according to reports in France. Sancho was hoping to earn a permanent move to Stamford Bridge after joining the Blues on loan from Manchester United last summer.
