Liam Delap wants to join a club playing in Europe next season

According to the Daily Star, Liam Delap wants to join a club playing in Europe next season, with Chelsea or Arsenal said to be his preferred destination. United have reportedly made it clear to the 22-year-old they want him but he is ‘having doubts’ about joining the Premier League giants.

United have made Liam Delap one of their main transfer targets, as Ruben Amorim looks to sign a top level forward. Amorim turned to Delap after being told by co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe that United couldn’t afford the £80m asking price for Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres.

The 22-year-old is said to be having doubts about joining Manchester United

But despite making it clear to Delap that United want him, the 22-year-old is said to be having doubts about joining the fallen giants. It’s understood Delap wants to join a club playing in Europe, with Chelsea or Arsenal being his preferred destination. Unless United win the Europa League, Amorim’s side will not be competing in Europe next season.

Delap is keen on a move to a better club as Ipswich town will go down to the Championship and many teams would be happy to sign the striker. The former Manchester City youngster has a £30m release clause in his Ipswich contract which will be a nice investment for any PL club who wants him.

Delap has scored 10 goals and 2 assists for the The Tractor Boys in PL

The Englishman has been very influential in this campaign for Ipswich Town as he has scored 10 goals and 2 assists for the The Tractor Boys. He has been their single outlet for goals as they have struggled to maintain their foothold in the premier League.

Last term under Kieran McKenna they thrived in the Championship and finished 2nd with 96 points and gained automatic promotion to the Premier league.  

They have defeated teams such as Tottenham, Chelsea and Aston Villa

Ipswich Town would like to look at it as a good experience as usually the teams that come up from the Championships, go down the next year as they can’t perform on the same level as the other teams. They are not yet guaranteed to go down but it looks like it will happen eventually unless a miracle happens. 

They would be happy to think that they defeated teams such as Tottenham, Chelsea and Aston Villa this season as they were competitive in most of the matches they played.
