Liam Delap next clubs odds: Betting suspended as Chelsea close in

*** UPDATE - Ladbrokes has suspended betting on Liam Delap's next club after reports emerged claiming that the player has chosen to join Chelsea ***

The latest Liam Delap next club odds suggest that several teams from across the Premier League are set to battle it out for the services of the young striker.

With many of top clubs in need of a striker, and Alexander Isak likely being priced out of a move by Newcastle, English clubs look to be turning their attentions to Delap, Ipswich's number nine.

The player has a £30m release clause in his contract, as a result of Ipswich's relegation, and Chelsea are seen as the club most likely to activate it and sign the striker.

The latest odds on Delap's next club suggest that the player isn't going to move back to Manchester anymore, with the ex-Man City talent now tipped for a Chelsea transfer.

Delap's most likely next destination is seen to be Stamford Bridge with the odds on a Man United transfer longer than a move to Chelsea, one of the other clubs interested in the player.

A move for Newcastle to sign Delap could be accelerated if an attacker moves on, with Liverpool the favourites to sign Alexander Isak.

A Man City return and move to Champions League chasing Nottingham Forest could be on the cards, but as things stand, it seems as if Delap is most likely to be joining Matheus Cunha in signing for Man United if he does leave Ipswich.

As noted, as well as being the one of the favourites to sign Dean Huijsen and the front-runners for Milos Kerkez, Liverpool are also in the hunt for a striker, and it appears their number one target is Isak.

But what if the Reds are priced out of a move for the Swedish striker? Well, then perhaps they turn their attentions to Delap.

The Reds are 20/1 to sign the player, odds they share with Arsenal, who are also prioritising a move for another striker, with the Gunners the favourites in the Viktor Gyokeres transfer race.

Also in the running are Everton, Brighton, West Ham and Aston Villa, but all three are seen as major outsiders compared to the aforementioned favourites.
