Heir to Harry Kane?! Man Utd and Chelsea target Liam Delap urged by ex-England striker to make careful decision on next club as Ipswich star continues to draw attention from Premier League giants

The 22-year-old has impressed in the Premier League this season, scoring 10 goals and netting two assists for the struggling Ipswich. Despite his efforts, the Tractor Boys are in danger of going down as they sit third bottom and nine points from safety.

Delap is expected to be the subject of offers from bigger Premier League teams in the summer, even if Kieran McKenna's team stay up, but former Chelsea star Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has suggested he should avoid top clubs in case he gets stuck on the bench.

"With Delap, I know big clubs are looking at him. Ipswich look like they are going down," he told SunSport. "He needs to stay in the Premier League. If he’s playing in a more established Premier League team, what can he deliver? It’s important that he plays. If he’s going to be second choice — if I’m his agent, I’d advise him not to go."

Delap has been linked to the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United this season and has been backed to succeed Harry Kane as England's first choice striker. The Under-21 international was allowed to train alongside the Bayern Munich striker as Thomas Tuchel's side prepared for the recent World Cup qualifying matches.

Ipswich still have a chance of breaking out of the relegation zone, but they need to end their five-game losing streak when they take on Bournemouth next week.
