Chelsea is reportedly interested in signing former Manchester City striker Liam Delap, who has impressed since joining Ipswich Town in the summer. The 21-year-old has scored 3 goals in 6 Premier League appearances for his new club, attracting attention from the Blues as well as Aston Villa, RB Leipzig, and Porto for a potential transfer.
Despite Chelsea’s interest, Manchester City still holds a significant influence in Delap’s future due to two clauses in his move to Ipswich. City has a 20% sell-on clause and a buyback option in their agreement with Ipswich, giving them the ability to trump any deal Chelsea may make if Delap is willing to return to his former club.
Delap’s recent performances, including a brace in a game against Aston Villa, have earned him praise from pundits, with BBC’s Glenn Murray commending his skills and potential impact on Ipswich’s Premier League promotion aspirations. With his impressive form and potential, Delap remains a sought-after talent for top clubs like Chelsea and may see his future influenced by City’s involvement in his transfer.
