The Blues presently have Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku as their main strikers, but the former is the number one choice.

Jackson has been almost ever-present leading the line in the Premier League. This has led to speculation that Nkunku could leave soon.

Amidst this, the Blues are working on a possible replacement if Nkunku leaves. They have made initial contact with the agent of Delap.

Delap joined the Tractor Boys on a permanent deal from Manchester City last summer. He has been brilliant with six goals in the top-flight.

The 21-year-old is open to pursuing a bigger challenge elsewhere, but the big question is whether Chelsea can successfully land his signature.

City have a buy-back clause in the region of £40 million and they could exercise the option to prevent the Blues from landing Delap's services.
