Newcastle United are showing interest in young Premier League striker. The player has impressed everyone this season and is top priority of Chelsea and Man United this summer.
The star in question here is Liam Delap of Ipswich Town. He joined the Tractor Boys last summer and has been very good for them. He is 22 years old and has scored 12 goals along with picking 2 assists in Premier League this season.
Ipswich Town are very happy with Delap and would have loved to keep him for a long time. But, they are set to get relegated. Delap is too good to play in Championship. In addition, he will have £30 million release claus activate once Ipswich are relegated.
Chelsea view Delap as a top striker target this summer. Their boss Enzo Maresca is aware of the player’s quality due to working with him at City. Hence, he is keen to add him as he fits the hiring criteria set by the West London Club.
On the other hand, Man United are also willing to make move for Delap. They are set to part ways with both Zirkzee and Hojlund who have failed to impress. The Red Devils view Delap as a perfect number nine in their plans for future.
Newcastle United join the race for Delap
According to Luke Edwards, the Magpies are trying to sign Liam Delap this summer. They have one of the best strikers in the world right now – Alexander Isak. But, the Sweden international can leave this summer which will then require an instant replacement.
Liam Delap will have multiple options to choose from this summer. Ipswich Town will surely demand his £30 million release clause to be paid fully. All of the above mentioned clubs are capable to spending such an amount on a young striker who has ability to become one of the best in the world.
