Chelsea are confident about beating Man United in race for young striker. The player has impressed everyone in Premier League this season. He is surely going to exit his current club and will have a release clause activate very soon.
The star in question here is Liam Delap of Ipswich Town. He joined Tractor Boys last summer from Man City and has been unstoppable ever since. He has scored 12 goals and picked 2 assists in Premier League this season.
Delap has attracted interest from multiple clubs across whole Europe. But, there is a sense that he will opt to stay in England for now. Ipswich were keen to keep him but will find it hard to do so. They are set to get relegated which will activate £30 million release clause in Delap’s contract.
Chelsea are keen to sign Delap this summer. Enzo Maresca wants another striker and has identified Delap as a perfect fit. The Italian coach has worked with Delap in his time at Etihad earlier. The Blues are backing Maresca and are working hard to sign him.
On the other hand, Man United are in desperate need of a new striker. Ruben Amorim wants to solve the goal scoring crises this summer. He has given green light to sell both Hojlund and Zirkzee. Delap will be a good fit as he is young and will have good resale value.
Chelsea confident about signing Delap this summer
According to GiveMeSport, Chelsea believe that they are very close to sign Liam Delap this summer. Hence, Man United are being made on waitlist to see wheter the 22 year old views them as his next destination.
The final decision will come down to the player himself. Both United and Chelsea are in good state to trigger his release clause. Delap will prefer to join a club playing in Europe but most importantly where he is guaranteed regular gametime.
