Danny Murphy questions Chelsea over Liam Delap signing

Former Premier League star Danny Murphy has questioned Chelsea's decision to sign Liam Delap, suggesting the striker has failed to impress this season.

Danny Murphy believes Nicolas Jackson is a more effective goal threat than Chelsea’s £30m signing, Liam Delap. Speaking on talkSPORT, Murphy argued that Jackson has outperformed the England under-21 international during their time together at Stamford Bridge.

Delap has struggled with injuries and has only scored two goals in 24 appearances, playing second fiddle to Joao Pedro. With Jackson currently on a season-long loan at Bayern Munich, Murphy noted that the forward is missed by the team.
