De Lap is a player with a lot of talent and potential. De Lap has been in excellent form this season, scoring 12 goals for relegated Essex. De Lap's performance in a relegated team like Essex is exceptional. His quality and ability have attracted interest from a number of Premier League clubs. Essex were relegated to the Championship, making it difficult to keep a player with such talent and potential. Despite the difficulty of keeping him at the club, De Lap's release clause of just £30m has made him an attractive target for top clubs.

Dele Alli was wanted by many Premier League clubs due to his reasonable price. Dele Alli eventually moved to Chelsea, where his former coach Enzo Maradona was in charge. Chelsea were also in need of a striker who could lead the attack well and score 20-30 goals a season. Chelsea are keen to qualify for the Champions League next season and understand that they have struggled to find a striker like Nicolas Jackson. That is why they have signed a player like Dele Alli, who is worth the transfer fee and has shown great potential. Dele Alli will wear the number 9 shirt for Chelsea. This has led Chelsea fans to wonder if Dele Alli can break the number 9 curse. When it comes to the number 9 curse and the striker curse, Chelsea cannot be left out. Chelsea have spent a lot of money to sign promising academy players, experienced players who have played in major European competitions, and quality players who can be used immediately in the team, but it is hard to say which one has worked.

Chelsea have always been a lucky team when it comes to attacking midfielders, but when it comes to strikers, they are always a team that is always in the middle. There is also the curse of the number 9 shirt. Torres, Falcao, Morata, Higuain, Abraham, Lukaku and others have worn the number 9 shirt for Chelsea and have all fallen short of the mark. Will Dele Alli fall into the same trap as the players in the past? Or can he continue to play at his best and break the curse of the number 9 shirt at Chelsea? What do you think, fans?
