Liam Delap helped Ipswich Town to earn a 2-2 draw away at Chelsea, but he could be playing for the Blues next season.

The striker, who started on the bench, has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this summer.

In fact, it has already been claimed that Chelsea are keen to sign Delap before the Club World Cup begins.

Amid all of the speculation surrounding his future, Ipswich fans had a message for the 22-year-old during their side’s draw with Enzo Maresca‘s team.

Ipswich fans plead for Liam Delap to stay

Unsurprisingly, Delap is a very popular figure at Portman Road despite having only arrived last summer.

He has brought goals to Kieran McKenna’s side, scoring 12 times in 31 Premier League appearances this season.

It is why Chelsea and other clubs are interested in the England U21 international, but Ipswich supporters have made it clear that they want him to remain at the club.

As shared by Sky Sports, Ipswich fans sung “10 more years Delap, 10 more years” during their team’s draw at Stamford Bridge.

But with the club about to get relegated, they are unlikely to have him for another year, let alone 10. It is being widely reported that Delap has a £30m relegation clause in his contract, making him a definite goner should Ipswich fail to avoid the drop as expected.

Premier League clubs interested in Liam Delap

Chelsea appear to be the English club who are most interested in signing Delap this summer, but they will face competition for his signature.

As well as Manchester United, Everton are also thought to be keen on Delap, though Chelsea will not be too worried about the Toffees, especially if they qualify for the Champions League.

After dropping points against Delap’s current club, though, that is not a small if. Things remain really tight in the race for Champions League qualification and Chelsea are not doing themselves any favours.
