Liam Delap attracts Premier League transfer interest

Liam Delap, a 22-year-old forward for Ipswich Town, is becoming a hot property in the upcoming summer transfer market. He has scored 10 goals this season in the Premier League, despite his team's struggles, which may lead to relegation. Chelsea has been keeping an eye on Delap and considers him a key target. However, they will face competition from Liverpool and Manchester United, who are also interested in signing him. Liverpool has already made contact to discuss Delap's future, seeing him as a cheaper option compared to other forwards. Ipswich is not expected to keep Delap if they are relegated but won't let him go without a high price tag. Reports suggest his asking price is around £40 million. Additionally, Manchester City has a 20% sell-on clause that could raise the cost further. Liverpool’s plans may involve reshaping their forward line, especially if Darwin Nunez leaves. This could make them an attractive option for Delap, especially since they are set to play in the Champions League next season. Meanwhile, Manchester United's financial situation is uncertain, which may hinder their ability to sign new talent. As clubs monitor Delap’s scoring performances, the potential for a bidding war looms, especially if his goals continue to attract attention.
