Liam Delap\u2019s future at Chelsea has reached a tense stalemate, with the young striker turning down new approaches surrounding his future.<\/p>\n

Liam Delap<\/a> is finding life difficult at Chelsea<\/a>. Despite high expectations, the 23-year-old striker has struggled to secure a regular starting spot, often finding himself behind Joao Pedro in the pecking order. <\/p>\n

Recent displays have highlighted his lack of confidence, particularly in a frustrating 1-0 loss to Newcastle where he missed several clear-cut chances after coming off the bench. <\/p>\n

And with the imminent arrival of Emanuel Emegha<\/a> from Strasbourg, there are doubts over whether he has a long-term future at Stamford Bridge. <\/p>\n

Do you think Chelsea should have parted with Enzo Maresca?\ud83e\udd14 <\/p>\n

According to Simon Phillips<\/a>, Chelsea have been looking at options for Delap because they have been unhappy with his progress so far.<\/p>\n

It is believed that one of those options is to send him to Strasbourg, likely on a loan move.<\/p>\n

The Blues have presented Delap to Strasbourg, but so far the striker has rejected every attempt of that proposal, wanting to stay at Chelsea.<\/p>\n

After all, it has been claimed that Delap is not ready to call it quits at Stamford Bridge<\/a>, despite the lack of football so far this season. <\/p>\n

Out of the managers we have been linked with, which one do you think might be able to get the very best out of Cole Palmer again?\ud83d\udc40 <\/p>\n

Chelsea simply cannot afford to wait for Liam Delap to find his feet while the club\u2019s ambitious project stalls. With just one goal in 25 Premier League appearances and a finishing rate that has failed to justify his \u00a330 million price tag, the 23-year-old is quickly becoming a luxury.<\/p>\n

With Nicolas Jackson returning from Bayern Munich<\/a> too, it\u2019s not like the Blues will be short of options. <\/p>\n

At a club where patience is thin, Delap\u2019s reluctance to accept a development loan may just for Chelsea to make his decision for him this summer. <\/p>\n
