With Premier League scouts descending upon Ipswich Town matches, the name Liam Delap is quickly rising through the ranks of English football. According to CaughtOffside, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur all had representatives in attendance on Saturday to watch the 22-year-old striker in action.
Delap, son of former Premier League long-throw merchant Rory Delap, has emerged as one of the few bright spots in a faltering Ipswich side. Twelve league goals in a struggling Championship campaign tell their own story, and with Ipswich likely heading for the drop, Delap’s stock is only rising.
As reported, “He has been described as a ‘quality player’ recently, and there is no doubt that he has the attributes to succeed at the highest level.
