The 22-year-old has earned praise throughout the season, with Ange Postecoglou naming Delap a “real top striker” after Tottenham’s 4-1 win against Ipswich.
While Tim Sherwood has suggested Arsenal to sign Delap as well.
Gary Lineker also thinks that Delap is the striker who Arsenal should sign in the summer.
Lineker said on The Rest Is Football podcast: “If I were them, I’d go for Delap at Ipswich. I know he’s young, not entirely proven but he’s scored quite a lot of goals in the Premier League this season for a team that’s obviously struggled, having been promoted last season, Ipswich. I like his movement.”
Alan Shearer replied: “Didn’t I read he had a buyback clause or a percentage clause? If he has a buyback clause for a certain price for Man City, then does that make it difficult? Because if they wanted to make a few quid, they could buy him back and sell him again for more, I don’t know what’s in his contract.”
Gary Lineker replied: “I’m sure he must have a choice on where he wants to go, if you were him, you wouldn’t necessarily want to go to Man City at the moment because [Erling] Haaland has signed a nine-year-deal so you’ll have to wait an awfully long time to get game time.”
