FINAL LAP Chelsea star Liam Delap ‘splits from model girlfriend, 25,’ as she posts cryptic message

Delap, 22, had been dating the 25-year-old model and social media influencer for over a year.

Chelsea's Liam Delap was dating Scottish influencer Leanna Paul before their recent break-up

But Delap and Paul's relationship has reportedly ended while the striker is on Club World Cup duty in the US.

After dating for more than a year, a source told entertainment outlet Glam, Set & Match that the couple have called it quits.

After the break-up, the Scottish beauty dropped a hint about what may have happened on her Instagram story.

One post read: "You can’t keep someone loyal by loving them harder."

England under-21 international Delap moved from Ipswich Town to Chelsea in a £30million move earlier this summer.

He inherited the No9 shirt number at Stamford Bridge and scored his first goal for the club during a 3-0 win over ES Tunis in Philadelphia.

He has featured on five occasions during the Club World Cup, starting each of the last four.

Tuesday night sees Delap and Co line up against Fluminense in the semi-final.

'You can’t keep someone loyal by loving them harder,' said Paul in a recent Instagram story

Paul and Delap were reportedly dating for a year

Paul has just under 200,000 Instagram followers, which lists her as a blogger and model.

She also includes 'Bachelor of Law Grad with Honours' in her Instagram bio.

On TikTok, that number jumps to over 325,000 followers.

Should Chelsea beat Fluminense, they will face either PSG or Real Madrid in the Club World Cup final on Sunday.

Enzo Maresca's side have beaten LAFC and ES Tunis, but lost to Flamengo in the group stages.

In the knockouts, Chelsea beat Benfica 4-1 in extra-time and Palmeiras 2-1 to reach Tuesday's semi-final.

The club starts its Premier League campaign at home to Crystal Palace on August 17th.
