Market Watch
Delap’s strong campaign despite Ipswich’s impending relegation has made him a hot commodity.
Chelsea’s status as frontrunners reflects the club’s growing trend of signing young, high-potential British players and Delap fits that profile perfectly.
Manchester United are thought to be exploring several striker options and could see Delap as a rotational option with long-term upside.
Forest and Newcastle meanwhile offer Premier League continuity and minutes which are attractive to any developing forward.
