Newcastle United remain in the hunt for Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap, who is reportedly set for face-to-face talks ‘this week’
Delap joined newly-promoted Ipswich from Manchester City last summer in a deal worth up to £20million.
The 22-year-old has since scored 12 goals for The Tractor Boys in the Premier League this season but was unable to help them avoid relegation, which was confirmed in a 3-0 defeat at Newcastle United last month.
In beating Ipswich at St James’ Park, Newcastle also made Delap’s £30million relegation release clause activate. It’s that clause and Delap’s eye for goal in a struggling side that has attracted many clubs ahead of the summer transfer window.
