Nottingham Forest close in on signing Liam Delap from Chelsea

• Oliver Glasner wants two more buys in transfer window

• Aston Villa target Club Brugge defender Joel Ordóñez

Nottingham Forest are in advanced talks with Chelsea over a deal for Liam Delap. Oliver Glasner wants two more signings before the transfer window closes a week on Tuesday.

Delap, who was on Forest’s radar when the striker opted to join Chelsea from Ipswich, is out of favour at Stamford Bridge and has been training away from Xabi Alonso’s first team. The 23-year-old was left out of Chelsea’s squad for their game at Fulham on Monday.
