A lot of Chelsea\u2019s wide players have struggle to be honest, if you look at their front line, it\u2019s only really Joao Pedro who has done well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;If one was going to leave, I think it would more likely be Garnacho than Liam Delap.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;Delap is a young lad, and he brings some characteristics that Chelsea don\u2019t have.
