Chelsea striker Liam Delap can become the next Didier Drogba or Diego Costa, Tony Dorigo has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Delap is a wrecking ball of a striker with his tenacity and physicality, and he’ll definitely get better in front of goal the older he gets.
Tony added that as long as Liam handles the pressure that comes with playing for Chelsea, he stands a great chance of succeeding in England.
His words, “I think what’s interesting with Delap is that he’s got that physicality, and that’s kind of what they have been missing.
With his age, you expect him to get better and better. In a struggling side he was kind of a one-man wrecking ball up top, scored plenty of goals.
If he can handle the pressure that comes with playing for Chelsea, I think he has got a great chance of doing that [emulating Premier League champions Drogba and Costa] .
The price is really good. Him going somewhere where the manager clearly knows him very well from Manchester City, Cole Palmer will be a supply line from the gods, so Delap should settle in quickly and could be the man.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
