Chelsea Lead Race for Ipswich’s Liam Delap as Summer Striker Target

Chelsea have positioned themselves at the front of an ongoing competition to acquire a top Premier League striker during the summer transfer window. Ben Jacobs revealed that Chelsea stands as the top contender to acquire Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap from Portman Road.

Following his transfer from Manchester City to Ipswich Town last summer Delap became a vital attacking force who plays a fundamental role in the Tractor Boys’ offensive setup at age 22.

In his 23 Premier League matches so far, Delap has scored nine times, earning many top teams to show interest in him.

Multiple reports suggest Delap wants to join Chelsea as their next striker which indicates a strong possibility for him to become part of their squad during the upcoming transfer period.

Chelsea stays ahead in their pursuit of the English talent, but many other top clubs actively seek to sign him. The English football club Manchester United has allegedly joined forces with other clubs who want to sign Delap.

According to Jacobs, there is little chance that Manchester City will exercise the buy-back clause for Delap, although he formerly played for them.

Chelsea In Front Position To Sign Liam Delap

The Chelsea Football Club views Delap’s acquisition potential as a means to enhance their attacking options through an economical transfer deal that avoids paying top dollar for Šeško, Isak or Gyökeres.

The Blues show interest in acquiring a player who displayed his Premier League abilities early on because various European clubs now seek attacking talent during this summer transfer period.

The extended contract until 2029 at Ipswich Town might not stop Delap from seeking a move to a higher league since he wishes to advance his career.

The player would bring substantial offensive strength to Chelsea’s playing style if he agrees to join the team since their current attacking group already performs well.

The transfer window will soon begin and everyone will watch to see if Chelsea successfully brings this talented striker to play a vital role in their winning journey.
