Former Premier League star Troy Deeney has advised in-demand striker Liam Delap to ignore approaches from Arsenal and Chelsea, and join Manchester United in the summer. The Ipswich Town man is wanted by most of England's top sides after shining in his debut season in the top-flight.
Liam Delap has a modest £30 million release clause written into his contract with Ipswich in the event of their relegation from the Premier League. This fee has caught the attention of several sides, leading them to show an interest in the young striker.
Ex-Watford striker Deeney spoke on talkSPORT, pointing out the reason for his belief that Delap needs to prioritize a move to Manchester United over Chelsea or Arsenal. He said that the striker will make Ruben Amorim's side better instantly, and will be able to play regularly for the Red Devils.
