Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly speaks to Saudi league director for summer window

According to sources, Chelsea is planning a surprise move for Liam Delap, a striker for Ipswich Town. After moving from Manchester City in the summer, the English forward has made an impression at Portman Road this season. In his 16 Premier League games, Delap, 21, has scored six goals as Ipswich fight for their lives. Chelsea is thought to have taken notice of this form before the January transfer window.

According to The Athletic, Delap is now one of five to ten attackers on the Blues’ list. The Tractor Boys, however, are thought to be “reluctant” to hear “any offers” during the present campaign. It is also improbable that the Blues will make another attempt to get Victor Osimhen, according to the article. The striker failed to finalize a permanent move away from Napoli in the summer and is now on loan at Galatasaray. It’s also possible that Chelsea wants to make money off of some of the team members.

Maresca praises Premier League star linked with Chelsea

Although Maresca has already worked with Delap while he was a coach at Man City, the Blues will have the opportunity to see him up close on Monday. In his pregame press conference, Maresca was asked about the England U21 forward and responded, “Liam is a fantastic player.” Moreover, given his age. Together, we were together for a year. He probably scored 22 or 24 goals that season. This striker is really good.

“I think he can be a important player for England because of his age,” I replied, “because England is fortunate to have very good players, very good strikers, and his hard work off the ball; on the ball, he understands the game, and he can score goals.” The Athletic reports that Delap is on Chelsea’s “five to ten player shortlist,” despite the fact that the team has an abundance of attacking alternatives. However, according to reports, the Blues have no plans to sign anyone in January and will postpone any possible move for the forward until at least next summer.
