Who wants to sign £30m Ipswich striker Delap?

Ipswich striker Liam Delap will be available for £30m this summer because of a relegation release clause, which will be triggered when his club inevitably returns to the Championship.

The 22-year-old is likely to move on, with interest from several Premier League sides after netting 12 goals in 33 games in all competitions in his first full season in the top flight.

Previously, multiple sources told BBC Sport that Delap was expected to be available for £40m in the summer - with his previous club Manchester City holding a 'buy-back' fee at that price.

However, sources at Ipswich have since confirmed to BBC Sport that the release clause value decreases by £10m upon relegation.
