Nottingham Forest have splashed a club record reported fee of £45 million to sign out-of-favour Chelsea striker Liam Delap.

Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer is finally ready to play a full match after months of injury struggles, manager Enzo Maresca said on Wednesday, as his side prepares to face high-flying Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca blasted Liam Delap for a "stupid" and "embarrassing" red card in Wednesday's 4-3 win at Wolves in the League Cup fourth round.

Chelsea completed the signing of Manchester United outcast Alejandro Garnacho on Saturday for a reported £40 million fee.
