With Emmanuel Emegha joining from Strasbourg in July, Chelsea are keen to offload Delap if they receive a suitable offer, as per Football Insider<\/b>.<\/p>\n There is reportedly a growing feeling that he will be sold following the appointment of Alonso, who will have a major say in Chelsea\u2019s transfer business this summer after being named as their new manager.<\/p>\n Chelsea are ready to rival Arsenal in the race to sign Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi during the upcoming summer transfer window.<\/p>\n That is according to The Daily Mail<\/b>who report that Alonso\u2019s side \u201cwant to be kept informed\u201d on the 19-year-old\u2019s situation amid their pursuit of a new attacker this summer.<\/p>\n Kroupi has netted 13 Premier League goals during his debut campaign at Bournemouth and he is set to become the latest star to leave the Vitality Stadium for a huge transfer fee before the start of the 2026-27 season.<\/p>\n Build The FIFA World Cup 2026\u2122: LEGO\u00a9 releases stunning football-inspired collection<\/b><\/p>\n Palmer out, Toney in: The biggest talking points from England’s World Cup squad<\/b><\/p>\n Transfer Rumours: Arsenal face fresh Chelsea rivalry in battle to sign Kroupi<\/b><\/p>\n Check out FootballTransfers’ new app for all of football’s big storylines, transfer rumours and exclusive news in one convenient place directly on your mobile device.<\/p>\n The FootballTransfers app is available on Google Play and in the Apple App Store.
