Everton are in pursuit of Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap who is set to choose his next club.
The young Englishman is becoming the hottest prospect of the summer as he looks set to move on from the Tractor Boys.
David Moyes is keen to sign a new striker for Everton this summer after some issues up front for the Blues across the 2024/25 campaign.

Heading into the market, Everton are eyeing a move for Delap who has the interest of most Premier League clubs.
With transfer meetings going on behind the scenes, Delap’s true feelings about his chat on Merseyside have been shared.

Delap really enjoyed his chat on Merseyside, but he has now held a further round of talks with Newcastle United on Monday.
The battle is really beginning to heat up over the young striker’s signature.
It is believed Delap wants to make a decision this week on his next club as he is soon heading out to represent England in the U21 Euros.
Moyes and Everton have seemingly done what they can, but naturally face an uphill task given the calibre of the competition.
David Moyes has made Everton an attractive destination
Brighter times are ahead of Everton with the historic stadium move set to come over the summer break.
The Friedkins are ready to invest in Everton signings as the club looks to make a big leap forward ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

But now it is time for them to really push on and signing a player of Delap’s potential would be a huge statement of intent from the new owners.
