Chelsea FC's Liam Delap has failed to deliver in his debut year, prompting calls for the club to sell the striker. Former Blues midfielder Andy Townsend has urged Xabi Alonso to get rid of Delap, who has struggled to make an impact at Stamford Bridge. Delap, who was signed from Ipswich Town last summer, has only managed to score twice in his debut season. Townsend believes that Delap is struggling to adapt to the pace of the Premier League and has urged him to seek pastures new. 'If I was him, I would be pushing to get away from Chelsea because if he's not gonna play, you know, you can only sit on a bench for so long before too much of your game starts to disappear,' Townsend said. Chelsea FC's manager Xabi Alonso has been under pressure to deliver results, and the sale of Delap could be a way to free up funds for new signings. The club has already signed Joao Pedro from Brighton, and it remains to be seen whether Delap will be given a chance to prove himself in the new season.
