Forest agree record deal to sign Liam Delap

Nottingham Forest have agreed a club-record deal to sign Liam Delap, according to John Percy, with the development emerging on Tuesday evening.

The report states Forest have broken their transfer record to land Delap. It also indicates the player had been on Forest’s shortlist, while Oliver Glasner was another admirer.

No fee or contract details were disclosed in the report, and there was no official confirmation from Forest at the time of publication.

The move comes late on deadline day after what was described as a quiet day of business for Forest, with the club said to be taking a calm and patient approach. The record outlay suggests the signing had been treated as a priority.

An agreement at this stage would typically precede formal announcement and registration, but timelines were not set out in the reporting. Further details, including the structure of the fee and the length of Delap’s deal, are expected once the club confirms the transfer.
