Chelsea and Manchester United have one Premier League striker as the top target fr summer window. But, they are now joined by European giants in the race.
The star in question here is Liam Delap. He is 22 years old and currently plays for Ipswich Town. He has been superb so far in Premier League. Delap has scored 12 goals and picked 2 assists this season and has been one of the best youngsters in the world right now.
Ipswich Town are very happy with Delap and want to keep him beyond this season. But, it will not be easy as they are headed for relegation. Delap will have £30 million release clause and top clubs will surely opt to trigger it as the 22 year old is too good to play in Championship.
Chelsea & Man United joined by Italian giants in race for Delap
Chelsea have Liam Delap as their top striker target this summer. Enzo Maresca has worked with the 22 year old in past. He is keen to sign him this summer. The Blues are ready to back Maresca and have been working hard to make the deal happen.
On the other hand, Man United are also willing to sign Delap this summer. They are very likely to part ways with Hojlund and Zirkzee. Both of them have failed to impress ar Old Trafford and hence can get sold to raise funds.
According to TuttoSport via AllFootball, Juventus have joined the race for Liam Delap. They are set to part ways with Dusan Vlahovic who is linked with a move to Premier League. Hence, the Serie A giants may opt to go big for striker this summer.
Delap will have a big say in deciding his future. He will like to join a club where he can be a regular starter. The 22 year old may also prefer to join a club who plays regularly in Champions League. This may hand United a blow in the race.
