After grabbing 12 league goals for Ipswich Town last season, Chelsea won the race for Delap as they activated his £30M release clause and brought him into the side.
However, Delap has only scored one Premier League goal since his move and many are growing impatient especially as fellow forward Joao Pedro continues to find the back of the net.
Speaking to talkSPORTBET, Nevin has suggested that Delap will be feeling the pressure in West London and even if he offers a lot to the side.
“It’s stepping stones for Liam Delap. The numbers aren't looking great in terms of goals scored and assists and things like that, and they're trying to find different positions for him, playing him slightly wider than you would normally when he is brought on.
“I really like him as a player. I would love him on my team. When I was a player, I'd love a player to hit balls into space for.
“Because he runs, and he stretches teams, and makes more space for yourself if you're a creative midfielder. And I think the Chelsea fans have got a lot of time for him because he works hard.
“I think Liam is a better all round player than Timo Werner because there's more technical stuff to his game. He's also shown that he can score at this level.
“Chelsea and him, the wrong move? It might actually be the case now. But there are some others coming in, you think of Nicolas Jackson coming back, so there is a pressure.”
Delap has started just nine league games and has found himself on the fringes of the team as transfer links to the likes of Everton grow in what is a worrying sign for the England star.
