Everton have entered the running to sign Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap this summer.
The striker is widely expected to leave the Tractor Boys this summer, with interested parties able to secure his services for £30m due to the relegation release clause in his contract.
Indeed, during his press duties ahead of the final game of the season against West Ham United this weekend, Town boss Kieran McKenna confirmed that the Championship-bound club had given the England Under-21 international permission to discuss terms with other clubs.

Manchester United, Newcastle United and Chelsea are believed to have all sat down with Delap and his representatives, and now Toffees boss David Moyes has revealed that his club have also presented their case.
He said: “We have had a chance to speak to him. He’s spoken to three or four clubs and he’s given us the opportunity to pitch our case.
“We’re probably a little bit behind the black ball but you never know what happens.”
Delap, who joined Ipswich last summer from Manchester City, has scored 12 Premier League goals this season.
