Arsenal learn asking price for Liam Delap

 Arsenal are looking to improve their attacking unit and they have identified Liam Delap from Ipswich Town as a potential target ahead of the summer window.

According to a report from Fichajes, Arsenal are looking at multiple attacking options, but Delap happens to be one of the names that has attracted the most interest. The report states that the Ipswich striker is valued at £40 million, and it will be interesting to see if Arsenal can get the deal done.

They have the financial muscle to pay the reported asking price and the 22-year-old would be a long-term investment for them. Even though Ipswich have struggled this season and they are likely to be relegated, Delap has shown his quality in the Premier League consistently. He has 10 goals in the league and his numbers are only going to improve when he is playing in a better team alongside quality players.

Arsenal are in desperate need of a reliable goal-scorer and players like Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz have been quite underwhelming. Delap could solve their goal-scoring problems and he could lead the line for Arsenal for the foreseeable future.

Manchester United and Chelsea have been linked with the player as well.
