In order to successfully pursue Ipswich striker Liam Delap, Manchester United could need to win the Europa League.
Delap, who has scored 12 Premier League goals for the struggling Tractor Boys this season, is high on United’s list of summer transfer targets. In order to successfully pursue Ipswich striker Liam Delap, Manchester United could need to win the Europa League.
Delap, who has scored 12 Premier League goals for the struggling Tractor Boys this season, is high on United’s list of summer transfer targets.
According to people close to the England Under-21 star, Delap would want to play in Europe, even if Chelsea is also very interested in using his cheap £40 million release clause.
United is currently in 13th place in the Premier League, and their only chance to make it to Europe is to enter the Champions League through the backdoor.
The only way for United to return to the top table in Europe is to win the Europa League.
The top-seeded squad remaining in the round of eight, led by Ruben Amorim’s club, will travel to Lyon on Thursday night to play the first leg of their quarterfinal matchup.
Delap, who has been urged on talkSPORT to reject a move to Old Trafford, has a number of clubs in England and throughout Europe, including the German duo of Frankfurt and Leipzig, in the running. Chelsea and United are by no means his only alternatives.
Spurs plan to raid their rivals in London.
According to talkSPORT, Tottenham is getting ready to make a summer move for Crystal Palace left-back Tyrick Mitchell.
Mitchell, a player for England, is being considered by Spurs to replace Destiny Udogie, who has had a disappointing season.
Mitchell’s contract is believed to expire in the summer of 2027, despite some sources claiming he is out of contract this summer.
Palace is therefore well-positioned to demand a price of almost £50 million for the 25-year-old from north London.
Mitchell has represented Palace in 161 Premier League games.
West Ham wants to raid the demoted team.
The competition to recruit England defender Kyle Walker-Peters is dominated by West Ham.
This summer, Walker-Peters will leave the Saints as a free agent, leading to a mass departure from the recently demoted south coast team.
In an attempt to go ahead of other possible suitors, talkSPORT has been informed that the Hammers have already extended a contract offer to former Spurs defender Walker-Peters through his representatives.
Although first-choice right-back Aaron Wan Bissaka is playing well, Graham Potter thinks Walker-Peters can be a useful addition because of his versatility.
Walker-Peters’ Saints teammates Aaron Ramsdale and Taylor Harwood-Bellis are also targets for West Ham, as talkSPORT has revealed.
They are also one of the teams interested in Tyler Dibling, a teenage midfielder.
A stunning Cherries ace for Saudi Arabia?
If the Saudi Arabian Pro-League team Al-Nassr is unable to sign Mohammed Kudus from West Ham, they will seek Antoine Semenyo of Bournemouth.
Semenyo, Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma, and Kudus are among the three Premier League players the Riyadh-based team has shortlisted.
After Al-Nassr made an offer in January worth more than £90 million, Mitoma has already stated that he has no interest in moving to the Middle East.
Since West Ham is rumoured to be amenable to a mega-money transfer, Kudus is a more accessible target.
Semenyo, a Ghanaian international, has been crucial to Bournemouth’s pursuit of a European spot this season, and the Cherries would be sad to lose him.
