Chelsea are at the forefront of the chase for Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap, with the 22-year-old reportedly favoring a move to Stamford Bridge.
The Blues are expected to activate Delap’s £30 million release clause after his impressive 12-goal season for relegated Ipswich.
Despite interest from Manchester United, Everton, Newcastle, and Nottingham Forest, Chelsea’s recent UEFA Conference League win and Champions League qualification are believed to be key factors in Delap’s preference.
Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna confirmed Delap is exploring his options.
In a related development, Ipswich is reportedly interested in a loan move for Chelsea striker Marc Guiu as a potential replacement.
