Chelsea is reportedly optimistic about securing Liam Delap from Ipswich Town during the summer transfer window, competing with Manchester United for his signature. Chelsea's management feels they have an edge due to their longer interest in Delap, and manager Enzo Maresca's previous connections at Manchester City may influence the player's decision. At 22, Delap has had a solid season with Ipswich, contributing 12 goals and 2 assists despite the club's struggle against relegation in the Premier League.
Chelsea have had Delap on their radar longer than Manchester United, and internally they believe they have got the edge.
Their early interest shows clear, defined strategy and boss Enzo Maresca is keen on the deal, having known him from their time at Manchester City.
Delap joined Ipswich from Man City in the summer of 2024. The 22-year-old has scored 12 goals and given two assists in 35 matches in all competitions so far this season.
Chelsea are aiming to finish in the Premier League top five, while Man Utd look set to end the campaign in the bottom half of the campaign.
