Manchester United is reportedly in Paul’s position to secure the signature of Liam Dellup, one of the brightest young talents in the Premier League.
Impressed by his debut top flight campaign with Ipswichtown, the 22-year-old striker has attracted a lot of attention from major clubs, including Chelsea.
However, recent reports suggest that Dellup is “leaning” towards a move to Old Trafford, giving United a clear edge in the transfer fight.
United and Chelsea are keen to bolster their offensive options ahead of next season.
Man United has turned to several targets
Their nominee list includes several well-known names such as Benjamin Sesco, Victor Gyoker, and Victor Osimhen.
Despite the competition, Delap has emerged as a key goal thanks to Ipswich’s outstanding season, which has scored 12 goals in 38 matches in all competitions.
His physicality, sharp finish and ability to maintain his play are not noticed, and top club scouts frequently take part in Ipswich’s matches.
Talksport reports that securing a victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final later this month could further boost United’s Dellup pursuit.
Such a victory will not only improve United’s appeal to future signatures, but will solidify their financial position before a significant transfer period.
Reuben Amorim desperately needs a new striker
Current attackers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee both struggle at Old Trafford, increasing the need for new strikers at United.
Their low goal scorers in league and league positions show that the team does not have prolific goal scorers.
If United can secure his signature, it would not only represent a coup against their Premier League rivals, but also demonstrate their intention to invest in the next generation of English talent.
