£50m star Chelsea wants will give Enzo Maresca ‘different attacking option.’
CHELSEA are still reportedly interested in adding a striker to that attack in the coming transfer windows, and one of the players that have been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge is the impressive Ipswich star Liam Delap.
Delap is having a fine season in the Premier League for Ipswich this season and has been linked with a move to both Chelsea and Liverpool in recent weeks, and although his eight goals are not that impressive, his performances have been quality.
Amid all the speculation and rumours, Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently reported the existence of a release clause, although did not confirm the value of it, while he did state that there is a sell-on clause worth around 20 per cent, which could cost Ipswich a significant amount of money if they sell elsewhere.
And now, amid all the speculation and rumours, Reporter Iomie Stanley has come out and claimed that Delap would offer Enzo Maresca a different kind of attack, he told icfootballnews: ‘Delap’s performances for Ipswich have been a testament to his development as a striker. Known for his physicality, relentless work rate, and ability to find the back of the net, Delap has drawn comparisons to some of the Premier League’s best target men.
‘His eye-catching displays have not only demonstrated his knack for scoring but also his ability to hold up play, link with teammates, and trouble defenses with his aggressive pressing.
‘While Delap’s current form suggests he has the tools to succeed, the intensity, speed, and tactical complexity of the top flight has represented a new challenge for the striker that he has adjusted too, he is proving the Premier League is where he belongs.
‘ Chelsea’s recent struggles in the striker department are well-documented. Despite spending heavily on attacking talent, the Blues have lacked a reliable, consistent goal scorer. With Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku leading the line but still too inconsistent, the addition of Delap could provide Chelsea with depth and a different attacking option.
‘From a tactical perspective, Delap’s physical presence and direct style of play could complement Chelsea’s current setup, offering an alternative to their existing forwards.
‘However, given CHELSEA’s aspirations for silverware, Delap, while promising, may need more time and experience to reach the level he needs to be a regular starter at Stamford Bridge.’
