Chelsea Eyes Ipswich Striker Liam Delap

Chelsea is reportedly focusing on Ipswich striker Liam Delap as they prepare for the January transfer window, having shifted their attention away from previous targets like Victor Osimhen and Alexander Isak. Delap, 21, has made an impressive start to his Premier League career, scoring six goals in 11 appearances and is highly rated on Chelsea's advanced transfer metrics. Chelsea's current striker Nicolas Jackson has also performed well, but the club is keen to enhance their attacking options. Delap's impressive all-round game and physical attributes have attracted interest, especially since he possesses a buy-back clause with Manchester City. Meanwhile, defender Axel Disasi is facing an uncertain future at Chelsea, with reports indicating that Napoli has inquired about his availability due to his limited playing time this season. The club's new manager, Enzo Maresca, has improved Chelsea's performance, and the recruitment strategy now leans heavily on data-driven analysis to identify promising talent like Delap.
