Chelsea and Man United are keen to sign one English striker this summer. They have now been handed with a major boost in the pursuit by trusted journalist.
Chelsea are in need of another striker this summer. They are willing to sign a proper backup for Nicolas Jackson. Hence, they will focus on young star as it also fits in their recent hiring criteria. But, the Blues want the player to compete for the starting position.
Enzo Maresca will be backed to bring in the striker of his choice. He has identified Liam Delap as the top target. The Italian worked with Delap in his time at Man City. Earlier, it was reported that Chelsea already have a plan ready for Delap.
But, the Blues are not the only club interested in Delap. The Englishman is having a great season and hence is wanted by multiple top clubs. One of them is Man United who are in desparate need of a new striker this summer.
United are said to part ways with both Zirkzee and Hojlund. They are also willing to sell Rashford permanently who is on loan right now. Hence, the Red Devils can be seen going in hard after Delap in the summer window.
Chelsea & Man United handed boost in the pursuit of Delap
Fabrizio Romano has told GiveMeSport that Chelsea and Man United are leading the race for Delap. He added that the 22 year old has interest from Bundesliga clubs, but the player wants to stay in Premier League.
Ipswich Town are happy with Delap but will still lose him this summer. They are set to get relegated this season. Delap is too good to play in Championship. He can be then signed for £30 million. Top clubs will surely trigger his release clause and make him their next number nine.
