Club World Cup: Liam Delap speaks after providing assist on Chelsea debut
New Chelsea striker, Liam Delap, has expressed his happiness at making his debut for the club.
Delap arrived from Ipswich Town this summer after the Blues triggered his 30million release clause.
Enzo Maresca started the 22-year-old on the bench for their Club World Cup opener against Los Angeles FC on Monday.
Delap came on with Chelsea leading 1-0 thanks to Pedro Neto and laid on the assist for the second scored for Enzo Fernandez in the 79th minute.
Speaking after the game, Delap told Channel 5: “It’s a really happy feeling for me. I’m so excited to be here and to play my first game and be able to contribute is a good feeling.
“The team have welcomed me really well. I have only had a few sessions here but I am excited for more.”
On if we can expect to see more assists from him, he added: “Yes of course it is good to help the team but I want to score some as well.”
