💨 Abstract

Chelsea is closing a £30m deal for Liam Delap, who may face a club-vs-country conflict. Chelsea wants him for the Club World Cup, but England plans to include him in the U-21 Euro squad. Delap, 20, scored 12 goals for Ipswich last season. Chelsea's Champions League platform and connections with his former coaches tipped the balance in their favor. However, he may encounter similar conflicts in the future.
