As the summer transfer window draws nearer, Chelsea are reportedly growing in confidence that they can win the race for Ipswich Town’s in-demand striker Liam Delap. The 22-year-old has impressed during his debut Premier League campaign, netting 12 goals for a struggling Ipswich side, and is emerging as a top target for several top-flight clubs.
Despite serious interest from Manchester United, reports suggest Enzo Maresca’s side are “very much still pursuing” Delap and quietly positioning themselves to take advantage of Ipswich’s likely relegation. According to GiveMeSport, Chelsea believe they could steal a march on their rivals, with Maresca a long-time admirer of the forward.
