What happened. Chelsea are reportedly prepared to listen to offers for Liam Delap as new manager Xabi Alonso looks to trim his squad of centre-forwards.

• Delap arrived last summer for £30m but has struggled for regular football.
• João Pedro remains a leading option, and Nicolas Jackson has returned from loan.
• Chelsea are aiming to make a profit on the striker.

Delap's exit seems likely as Chelsea reshape their attack under Alonso.
