The list of lovers from Liam Delap has been informed that the striker of Ipswich Town will not add to them, whereby the star spends his preference to become a member of Chelsea instead.
Clubs such as Manchester United, Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest now know that Delap will end a movement in favor of a Chelsea switch, according to the Athletic.
Delap, 22, is one of the most sought after talents in the Premier League after scoring 12 goals for Ipswich Town this season.
And his tempting release clause of £ 30 million has made him a target for top clubs in the competition and Europe.
However, it now seems that the attacker – who is the son of the former Stoke City icon Rory Delap – has decided that he wants to join Chelsea to the other interested clubs.
The athletic report that European giants AC Milan and Juventus were included in his list of admirers.
It is claimed that Delap now becomes a member of Chelsea if the blues can meet the requirements of his release clause and reach an agreement with the English Youth International on personal conditions.
Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna revealed last week that Delap had considered his options after the relegation of the tractor boys was confirmed.
He said: “Liam looks at his options for next year, which I think he has the right to do and we support him with that.
“I think we have given him permission to do that this week. It is a very important decision for his future. Of course there is a lot of interest – and rightly so.
“I think part of his week had some of those conversations.
“It seems more likely than not that he will continue this summer and he is interested in almost every club in the competition, and I don't think there are many clubs in the world who would not want him.
“Nothing is sorted, nothing is done or completed or even whole, very, very close, so that process will be running.”
If Chelsea has to complete the signing of Delap, this can put an end to their interest in sporty Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres.
The blues were also linked to RB Leipzig Tassman Benjamin Sesko.
That will be music in the ears of Mikel Arteta and Arsenal who would like to bring one from Sesko or Gyokees to the Emirates this summer.
The decision of Delap to sniff his other vovers will all see them to continue to other goals.
For Man Utd, it could pay more attention to the importance of completing their £ 62.5 million movement for Matheus Cunha – which is thought to be confirmed.
