Liam Delap, Chelsea’s new forward, has expressed immense delight after making his first appearance and contributing an assist during the FIFA Club World Cup match.
Delap joined the Blues earlier this summer following the club’s decision to activate his £30 million release clause from Ipswich Town, finalizing a highly anticipated move.
Chelsea’s manager, Enzo Maresca, placed the 22-year-old on the bench in their Club World Cup opening match against Los Angeles FC on Monday.
With Chelsea holding a narrow 1-0 advantage courtesy of Pedro Neto’s strike, Delap was introduced into the game and made an instant impact. He delivered the final pass that led to Enzo Fernandez’s 79th-minute goal, effectively sealing the win.
During a post-match interview with Channel 5, Delap said,
“I’m really happy. It feels amazing to finally make my debut and to contribute with an assist—it’s truly special. The team has embraced me warmly. Although I’ve only participated in a few training sessions, I’m looking forward to more opportunities.”
When asked about delivering more assists in the future, Delap confidently responded:
“Definitely! Assisting is great, but I also want to score goals myself.”
