Ipswich Striker Delap in Premier League Transfer Talks with Multiple Clubs

Ipswich striker Liam Delap, who has a £30 million relegation release clause, is attracting significant interest from several Premier League clubs including Newcastle United, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Everton. Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna confirmed that Delap and his representatives are currently in discussions with multiple clubs, and his departure this summer seems likely. Everton manager David Moyes acknowledged that while Everton is somewhat behind other clubs in the race, they have held direct talks with Delap and offered him the opportunity to be their first-choice striker in a new project under the Friedkin Group. Additionally, Everton is monitoring Liverpool winger Ben Doak, who is valued around £30 million, and could become the first player to move from Liverpool to Everton since 1992 if a deal materializes. Moyes emphasized Everton’s intent to build a competitive squad by targeting young talents like Delap and Doak, despite strong competition from bigger clubs. Overall, the transfer saga highlights Everton's attempt to rebuild and secure promising players amid interest from more established Premier League teams.
