Delap backed to replace Kane as Maresca shares true feelings on £30m signing
Chelsea completed a £30m deal to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich earlier this summer and Blues boss Enzo Maresca has tipped the striker for big things during his time at Stamford Bridge Enzo Maresca says Liam Delap can become England 's next No9. Maresca insists his new £30m signing has got all the attributes to succeed Harry Kane as England's first choice centre forward. Chelsea boss Maresca worked with Delap while an academy coach at Manchester City and that was a major factor in why they were able to persuade him to move to Stamford Bridge from Ipswich this summer. Maresca said: 'When we faced Ipswich, before we faced Ipswich, so Liam was not a Chelsea player, I said that for me, Liam, potentially he can be England number nine. 'So he was not even with us. And for sure now that he's with us, I'm going to say again that I don't have any doubt that he can be in the future England number nine. And then the other one, we'll see. 'Liam knows quite well how important the number nine is for this club. Personally I don't see any problem about that in terms of, I see Liam quite relaxed, easy, he's doing well, since he arrived he's working well. 'We know each other from years ago, so I know what Liam can give us, he knows what we can give to him to improve and to become a better player. And again in terms of number nine, hopefully he can score goals for us.' Delap, 22, has represented England at under-21 level but went with Chelsea to the Club World Cup rather than to the European Championships and is set to play against Los Angeles FC in Atlanta. But despite their close relationship, Maresca insisted that he did not give Delap any guarantees over his starting place as the prepares to battle it out with Nicolas Jackson next season. Will Liam Delap be a success with Chelsea? Share your thoughts in the comments below Maresca added: 'I never say to a player you want to be a first choice. The message is always the same, you arrive, you work hard, you work more than the other number nine and you want to be a number nine first choice. 'So the conversation with Liam has been quite clear. He was keen to join us because he knows the way we play, the season that we were together. 'Also we won for the first time for Manchester City the under-23 competition, he scored 24, 25 goals that season. So he knows exactly what we can give him, and as I said before, I know what Liam can give us. 'So I think it's a win-win and the conversation was quite an easy conversation. We like Liam, Liam likes us, so it was an easy conversation.'

Opinion: Formula One needs people like Eddie Jordan - he'll be sorely missed
Formula One From team owner to pundit, Jordan's journey was unique. In the corporate Formula One paddock, his maverick personality stood out Skip 1 photos in the image carousel and continue reading In the ever evolving world of F1 – now a global juggernaut of speed and spotless PR – the loss of Eddie Jordan feels seismic. Not because he was still on the pitwall or publicly pulling strings in the paddock (although he was still absolutely doing that under the radar – note the Adrian Newey to Aston deal), but because voices like his are vanishing. Loud, honest, unpolished and unmistakably human, Eddie was the sport's living antidote to the hyper-managed, sponsor-sanitised travelling circus. Advertisement - Page continues below Eddie Jordan wasn't just a team boss. He was a true character and the best raconteur I have ever met. The kind of man who could spot talent a mile off – Michael Schumacher, anyone? – and still crack a joke with mechanics five minutes later. He ran his team like a rock band on tour: charismatic, chaotic and bursting with heart. His DNA permeated the ranks of the team, and does to this day in its current iteration – Aston Martin – where a handful of his loyal employees are still on its payroll. F1 is on a golden run, new fans pour in by the millions, but the flip side of that is big tech, big money and bigger image control have swept through like a desert sandstorm, polishing every surface. We are at risk of not telling the whole truth, for fear of upsetting the corporate bosses and social media mobs. You might like Eddie never hesitated. He said what he thought, not what he thought would trend well. He also had a strong sense of right and wrong. He once found out that a team boss had been rude to me, mistakenly thinking I had been the source of erroneous information about his team. Eddie steamed straight in there and demanded an immediate apology. Eddie could also be brash, unpredictable and occasionally wrong, but that's what made him real, and why we loved him. He reminded us that F1 isn't just about data and tyre deg, it is about people, egos, passion, risk, triumph and failure. He was perhaps at his most authentic when at home with his wife Marie, children and grandchildren. Advertisement - Page continues below Just this past Christmas he sent out a video Christmas card with them all singing, dancing and playing musical instruments – it was gorgeous. Notably Eddie was right at the back, letting his kids and grandkids take turns centre stage. As our sport soars to new exciting heights, let's not forget that characters like Eddie are irreplaceable. F1 will go on becoming glossier, grander and more compelling, but it will be just a little less mad and maverick without him. There will never be another Eddie Jordan – which is a huge loss when the sport needs characters like him more than ever. Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter.

Monday's briefing: Young Lions frustrated but goals flow at Club World Cup
But there was no such worries for free-scoring Bayern Munich and Paris St Germain at the Club World Cup in the United States. Elsewhere, Thomas Frank made his first signing as Tottenham manager and Italy put a familiar face in charge. Young Lions frustrated Another point on the board at the #U21EURO finals, as our #YoungLions draw with Slovenia on matchday two. — England (@England) June 15, 2025 England Under-21s lost the chance to book their place in the knockout stage of the European Championship after being held to a goalless draw by Slovenia. The reigning champions failed to find a way past stubborn Slovenia opposition as Ethan Nwaneri and Harvey Elliott spurned golden opportunities. England moved to the top of the group, for the time being at least, but will have to wait to secure their qualification against Germany when they meet in Nitra on Wednesday. Boss Lee Carsley told 'I definitely think we had enough chances to win, though, so the frustration is that we didn't take those opportunities. 'I expect us to be better against Germany. I think we'll need to freshen the team up.' Paris St Germain off to flier at Club World Cup Paris St Germain players celebrate in their opening 4-0 Club World Cup win over Atletico Madrid (Jae Hong/AP) Newly crowned European champions Paris St Germain dismantled Atletico Madrid 4-0 to send out a warning to their Club World Cup rivals. Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha scored first-half goals and, despite an improvement from Diego Simeone's Atletico after the break, PSG showed their ruthless streak to punish Clement Lenglet's red card. Substitutes Senny Mayulu and Lee Kang-in, from the penalty spot, added late goals at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich had earlier beaten Auckland City 10-0 in Cincinnati, although England captain Harry Kane failed to get on the scoresheet against the New Zealand part-timers. Tel-ing moment for Tottenham We are delighted to announce the permanent signing of Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich on a contract that will run until 2031 ✍️ — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) June 15, 2025 Tottenham completed their first signing of the Thomas Frank era as Mathys Tel joined from Bayern Munich on a six-year deal. The 20-year-old forward spent the second half of last season on loan from the Bundesliga champions and scored three goals in 20 appearances. The loan included an option for Spurs to make the deal permanent for £45.8million, however the PA news agency understands the club successfully negotiated the fee down to £29.8m. Former Brentford boss Frank was appointed to replace Ange Postecoglou as head coach last week. Azzurri appointment Gennaro Gattuso is the new Italy manager (Gareth Fuller/PA) World Cup winner Gennaro Gattuso has been appointed as Italy head coach. The 47-year-old former AC Milan and Rangers midfielder succeeds Luciano Spalletti, who departed soon after Italy's 3-0 defeat in World Cup qualifying to Norway last week. Italian Football Federation president Gabriele Gravina said: 'Gattuso is a symbol of Italian football. The blue is like a second skin for him. 'His motivation, his professionalism and his experience will be essential to better face the next commitments of the national team.' Gattuso's managerial career to date has taken him back to Milan, Napoli, Valencia and Marseille and he left his most recent post at Croatian club Hajduk Split earlier this month. What's on today? Chelsea begin their Club World Cup campaign against Los Angeles FC at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Benfica and Boca Juniors also make their tournament debut on Monday at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium.
