Multiple Premier League Clubs Pursue Ipswich Striker Liam Delap

Liam Delap, the 22-year-old Ipswich Town striker, has become a highly sought-after player in the summer transfer window due to his impressive Premier League performance of 12 goals and 2 assists despite Ipswich's relegation. He is available for £30 million via a relegation release clause, attracting interest from several top Premier League clubs including Chelsea, Manchester United, Everton, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United. Chelsea is currently considered the favorite to sign Delap, leveraging existing relationships from his Manchester City days and offering him a clear path to first-team football. Manchester United and Tottenham are actively competing, with Tottenham reportedly preparing a bid to secure his signature and ready to offload players to accommodate him. Arsenal has also made an offer and views Delap as a promising backup striker to strengthen their attack after struggling with injuries to key forwards. Newcastle wants Delap to provide competition for Alexander Isak but is not in a strong position to sign him, as other clubs present more compelling offers and opportunities for regular playtime.
