Chelsea have bolstered their forward line with the signing of 22-year-old striker Liam Delap from Ipswich Town.
Delap, 22, had been the subject of interest from Manchester United, Newcastle United and Everton, but the prospect of playing alongside former Manchester City teammate Cole Palmer at Stamford Bridge in the Champions League next season swung his decision in Chelsea‘s favour despite long-term interest from United.
The Manchester City academy graduate scored 12 goals in 37 Premier League games for Ipswich but his contribution was not enough to keep them in the top division.
