WHAT HAPPENED?
Ipswich forward Delap has a £30 million ($39m) release clause that is now active following the club's relegation from the Premier League. Giants like Chelsea and Manchester United are all set to compete for the 22-year-old once the transfer window opens this summer, and they will face competition from Everton, as confirmed by their manager, Moyes.
AFPTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Moyes is keen on refreshing a frontline that has struggled for fitness and goals over the past few seasons. While Beto has performed admirably, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has faded away. The latter is out of contract in the summer and it is believed Moyes will be allowed the funds to secure a player of Delap's price tag.
WHAT DAVID MOYES SAID
Speaking on the Toffees' interest in Delap, the Scottish manager said: "He would be one who we would certainly have an interest in. I think what he probably has to look at will probably be bigger than what we are. So, we would certainly be interested if he was interested in us. That’s for sure."
