Premier League giants Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly set to battle for the signature of one striker this summer.
The striker market is set to be the most patronised this summer as several clubs scour the world for the most accomplished finishers.
Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and others are in the market for a new centre-forward, with the Red Devils in particular desperate for attacking reinforcements.
According to the Daily Mail, Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap has emerged as a key target for Ruben Amorim.
Ipswich are surely heading back to the Championship, which means Delap will be keen on playing top-flight football next season, and there are plenty of suitors.
