Liam Delap to chelsea
Liam Delap’s performances for Ipswich Town this season has gotten the interest of several Premier League clubs.
Chelsea are “red hot favorites” to sign Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap this summer ahead of a host of Premier League rivals, the Daily Mirror has revealed. The 22-year-old is also wanted by Manchester United, Everton, and West Ham United, but Chelsea hold a key trump card that could see them win the race for his signature. Club manager Enzo Maresca previously worked with Delap at Manchester City’s academy, a link which may ultimately decide where the England Under-21 international chooses to play next season. Delap has a £30 million release clause in his current contract that becomes valid this summer.
Spurs join the race for Kingsley Coman
Tottenham could rival Arsenal for Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman this summer, reports TeamTalk. The Frenchman has largely been used as a substitute this season by Vincent Kompany and now looks set to leave the Bavarians after an eight-year stay. Arsenal are long-term admirers of Coman, although Spurs could enter the race to sign him once Timo Werner leaves the club. Southampton’s Tyler Dibling, who has a £100m valuation following a breakout Premier League campaign, is also on their winger shortlist.
Ronaldo to get a new contract in Saudi
Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr are pushing ahead with plans to renew Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract, reports Ben Jacobs. The 40-year-old is expected to sign the deal “soon” on similar financial terms to what he is on now — which sees him earn an estimated £173m per year. The Portuguese superstar has been in Saudi Arabia since January 2023 and has since gone on to score 72 goals in 73 league matches.
West Ham United and Fulham in for Felix Agu
