Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea are also believed to be in the running for the Citizens' academy product. He could be a great addition to a Gunners squad that seem to lack a clear option to lead the line. Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus have been used there but have been inconsistent and have also suffered season-ending injuries.

Manchester United, on the other hand, are keen on a massive revamp of their squad in the summer and will look to make investments throughout, especially in attack. Big signing Rasmus Hojlund has struggled to produce in 2024-25, collecting just three league goals all campaign. Adding Delap may go a long way in helping the Red Devils revive their attack.
