Newcastle fans say the same thing as Chelsea set demands for Liam Delap deal

Newcastle United’s fanbase have made it clear that they do not want to see Liam Delap make a move to St James’ Park this summer after his awful 2025-26 campaign

The striker had a rotten first season at Chelsea, where he managed just one Premier League goal and was often sidelined.

The 23-year-old was unable to meet any expectations at Stamford Bridge after costing the Blues £30million last summer.

As a result, Newcastle could now reignite their interest, with reports suggesting that he could cost £40m.

The Magpies were previously interested in the striker after his stellar campaign at Ipswich Town in the 2024-25 season.

Eddie Howe is in need of a new attacker this summer after both Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa struggled since their arrivals.

Newcastle United fans do not want Liam Delap to sign

Despite his struggles in the 2025-26 season, Newcastle are still keen to make a profit on Delap. 

The Daily Mail has reported via the Metro that a figure around £40m will be enough to secure his services, with the Magpies pushing to complete the deal.

However, many Newcastle fans do not want to see the striker make a move to St James’ Park, especially for the quoted price fee, believing that Delap is simply incapable of ending their current attacking woes.

Which other strikers are Newcastle linked with?

Football Insider has exclusively revealed that Newcastle are also tracking Darwin Nunez this summer transfer window.

The Uruguayan international endured a tough season at Al-Hilal and was de-registered from the squad after the conclusion of the winter transfer window.

Liverpool are not looking to re-sign the striker in the coming months, but multiple other Premier League sides are interested in the striker, including the Magpies.

Nunez still has two years left on his Al-Hilal contract, but this deal could soon be ripped up to allow him to leave on a free transfer and find a new club.

The striker has previously won the Premier League with Liverpool before he made a £53m move to Saudi Arabia.

Nevertheless, it remains to be seen if Newcastle do make a move for Nunez as they look to end their attacking woes as quickly as possible.
