Chelsea have recieved a major blow in the pursuit of their top striker target. They are now joined by their Premier League rivals in the race. The player is very likely to be available in the summer window.
The Blues have another striker as one of the top priority for summer window. They want a young striker who can act as backup for Nicolas Jackson. In addition, they want him to compete with Jackson for starting spot.
Chelsea have many names across whole Europe as striker targets. The one name that has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge is Liam Delap. The Blues have been really impressed with the performances of Englishman this season.
Delap is 22 years old and currently impressing a lot with Ipswich Town. He has scored 10 goals along with 2 assists in Premier League this season. Along with Chelsea, many other clubs have shown interest in the young striker.
Ipswich Town are very happy with Delap and are unwilling to sell him. But, they may be forced to sell him if they get relegated. They are currently on 18th position and Delap is too good to play in Championship. Hence, he is very likely to switch sides in summer window.
Liverpool join Chelsea in the race for Liam Delap
According to TBR Football, Chelsea are now joined by Liverpool in the race for Liam Delap. The report also states that Darwin Nunez is likely to depart to open up space for new striker. Hence, it will come as a big blow for Chelsea.
Liverpool also have sights on Alexander Isak of Newcastle United. However, his signing may prove tricky due to his transfer fee. The Magpies are demanding as high as £150 million for the Sweden international. This may force them to focus on other target.
