Man United and Chelsea are both showing interest in young striker. The player has been superb this season in Premier League. He will be available for £30 million this summer and the Red Devils are said to have lead in the race.
Manchester United are in desperate need of a new striker. They are ready to part ways with both Hojlund and Zirkzee. Both of the former Serie A strikers have failed to impress at Old Trafford. As a result, Ruben Amorim wants a new number nine who can score regularly.
The situation is same for Chelsea although they are in much better place than United right now. Nicolas Jackson had a great start to this season. But, he has failed to capitalize causing problems for Enzo Maresca. In addition, he has been injury prone due to which new striker is one of the top priorities.
Chelsea and United are both showing strong interest in Liam Delap. He is 22 years old English striker who plays for Ipswich Town. Delap has scored 12 goals and picked 2 assists in Premier League. Both, United are Chelsea are impressed with him and are keen to add him to their squad this summer.
Man United lead the race for Liam Delap
According to talkSPORT, the Red Devils are leading the race for Liam Delap. Chelsea are giving tough competition but Ruben Amorim’s side have a slight advantage in the race. But, this can quickly change upon the UCL qualification.
Chelsea are on 5th position in Premier League. As of now, they are favourites to play UCL next season. On the other hand, United are on 16th position. The only way they can play in UCL is by winning the Europa League.
As for Delap, he will surely switch sides in the summer window. Ipswich Town are already relegated due to which Delap’s £30 million release clause is activated. The player will now have to make a key decision regarding his future.
