Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap (21) has big-time admirers in the Premier League this season, including high-flying Chelsea.

The forward has taken the league by storm with the newly promoted club, aided by boss Kieran McKenna’s adventurous tactics.

Delap, a former Manchester City youth star, is said to be wanted by Chelsea.

Per Ben Jacobs, the Stamford Bridge club are willing to pay a big fee to sign him.

The 21-year-old is very interested in making the move but may have to wait until the end of the season.

Ipswich would only sell for silly money this month, as they are in a relegation dogfight.
