Premier League giants Liverpool have reportedly established contact over a possible move for 22-year-old Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Liam Delap is the subject of interest from Liverpool. The Reds are scouring the market for a striker heading into the summer transfer window and have set their sights on the Ipswich Town centre-forward. They have established contact over a possible move for the English attacker, with Chelsea and Manchester United also vying for his signature.
Liam Delap and his Premier League exploits
Liam Delap has enjoyed his Premier League breakthrough since joining Ipswich Town from Manchester City last summer. The Englishman rose in prominence during his spell with the Citizens but could not establish a foothold in the first-team squad at the Etihad.
The 22-year-old has been a standout performer for Ipswich Town this season, amassing ten goals and two assists in 28 Premier League appearances. Meanwhile, Delap’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile Premier League clubs. Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
A man in demand
Chelsea signed Marc Guiu from Barcelona last summer but failed to land Victor Osimhen. So, the West London outfit will likely dip into the market for a striker heading into the summer transfer window. Delap has thus emerged as a viable target for Chelsea, with the Blues reportedly formulating an offer to land the English striker.
Meanwhile, Manchester United’s interest in Liam Delap is understandable. The Red Devils are scouring the market for a striker heading into the summer transfer window amid Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee’s inconsistency in front of the goalmouth. So, the Ipswich Town centre-forward is an option worth considering for Manchester United.
As for Liverpool, Darwin Nunez faces an uncertain future at Anfield heading into the summer transfer window, with a departure on the cards for the Uruguayan international. So, several candidates, including the 22-year-old Englishman, have emerged on Liverpool’s radar. The Reds have established contact over a possible move in the summer transfer window.
Ipswich Town will demand around £40 million to part ways with Delap in the summer transfer window. Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United should have the funds to afford a deal worth £40 million for the English striker.
