Chelsea interest in signing Premier League striker for bargain confirmed!

According to reporter David Ornstein, speaking on The Athletic FC Podcast, Liam Delap is now on Chelsea’s radar just a few months after he made a £20m move to Ipswich.

CHELSEA may be sitting second in the Premier League and looking like a side that could really challenge for that Premier League title, but there has been alot of speculation that a new striker is wanted at the club in January, or at the end of the campaign.

Christopher Nkunku has been banging in the goals in the European games, but he is not getting the game time that he would like in the Premier League and there has been alot of speculation that he could look to leave the club, with reports suggesting that PSG are interested in a deal.

Nicolas Jackson has started the season in decent fashion and seems to be the number one striker for Enzo Maresca, but despite the impressive performances, there is still some doubt that he has the ability to score 25-30 goals a season in the Premier League, which is what top teams needs these days.

There has been some massive named linked with a move to Chelsea, but if you believe the words of Ornestein, Chelsea are now one of the clubs that are interested in signing the impressive Delap, he said: “And through multiple conversations I had, it was clear that, you know, the biggest guns, the so-called top six, members of that, call it elite bracket if you like, such as your Chelsea’s, your Manchester United’s, are taking a very close look.

‘They’re monitoring, they’ve got interest in him. They’ve got interest in lots of players.

“I’m not just saying it’s him, but he’s on these transfer lists, the recruitment targets that they weigh up. They constantly consider the qualities of, the drawbacks, the data and so on.

‘That’s brought the information to me that if he continues on this rise, we’re going to be dealing with somebody that Ipswich face a battle, maybe even a struggle to keep hold of next summer, even if they stay in the Premier League.”
