Former England international Ashley Cole believes Chelsea striker Liam Delap will require more time to adjust to life at Stamford Bridge.
The former Ipswich star has enjoyed a fine start to life with the Blues at the Club World Cup, assisting Enzo Fernandez on his debut before scoring his first goal for the team against ES Tunis in their final group game.
However, Cole, in a chat with Metro, praised Delap but believes he may not hit the ground running at Chelsea.

“[I have been] working with Liam Delap both on-and-off for about two years,” Cole said (via Metro).
“He’s a great lad, enthusiastic and he wants to learn, get to the next level [in his career].
“I think it’ll take time for Delap to develop and adapt to the way Chelsea want to play.”
