Arsenal are advised against pursuing Liam Delap, the promising Ipswich Town striker, following his successful season despite relegation. With a tempting £30m release clause, concerns arise regarding Delap's lack of proven track record at a high level and whether he is the right fit for Arsenal's current needs. Charles Watts highlights that while Delap could receive interest from major clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea, Arsenal fans may prefer more reliable striker options to support the team's ambitions in the upcoming season.
I've seen Liam Delap spoken about and whilst I think he has had a good season for Ipswich and will get a good move this summer, I would be surprised if it's to Arsenal.
A release clause of 30m is tempting, but I don't see Arsenal signing two strikers in this upcoming window and there's no way Delap comes in as the club's first choice.
That would be asking too much of him and it would not be a move that would go down well with supporters. Arsenal will spend big on a striker.
Delap could be an upgrade on Rasmus Hojlund at United, and on Nicolas Jackson at Chelsea, so those clubs look like they make sense for him right now.
