Liam Delap has impressed with his performance for Ipswich Town, scoring twice in a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa, thus continuing his strong start since joining from Manchester City. Richard Keys highlighted Delap's potential, comparing him to Manchester United's Joshua Zirkzee, and noted Delap's impressive goal tally of three in six Premier League matches. Glenn Murray emphasized Delap's crucial role in Ipswich's survival hopes, suggesting he could be pivotal for the team's performance going forward. Despite the draw, Ipswich remains without a win this season, but the match showcased their resilience against a strong Villa side. The young striker's development aligns with Manchester City's strategy of cultivating talent through their Elite Development Squad, which has previously produced top players. As Ipswich seeks to build on their momentum from consecutive promotions, Delap's contributions will be vital for their objectives this season.
