Former CHELSEA star Joe Cole is convinced the club will win the race to sign Ipswich star Liam Delap this summer, a player that will now only cost £30 million to acquire this summer.
Delap has had a decent season for Ipswich in the Premier League this season despite the clubs relegation, and his performances have been linked with a switch to Liverpool and Chelsea.
Former Chelsea midfielder Steve Sidwell waxed lyrical about Delap’s potential, even likening the Ipswich centre-forward’s game to that of a young Alan Shearer: ‘He fits the bill. He’s young and hungry, he’s someone that the coach here can develop,’ Sidwell responded.
‘He kind of reminds me of a young Alan Shearer when he was at Southampton then went to Blackburn.
‘He’s robust, he’s an out-and-out number nine, he knows where the goal is, he can score a goal.
‘I think that’s a good shout.’
And Cole, a three-time Premier League winner with Chelsea, chimed in: ‘I’d actually be stunned if he isn’t at CHELSEA.’

The lad is brilliant and definitely a player that has the ability to score 25-goals a season, he will be a great buy for the club if the reports are true and he is really coming to the club.
