Liam Delap is set to return to Ipswich Town if they achieve promotion back to the Premier League after a disappointing season at Chelsea FC. Delap joined Chelsea from Ipswich for £30 million but has struggled for form.
Delap scored 12 goals and provided 2 assists in his full debut Premier League season with Ipswich. However, at Chelsea, he has managed only 2 goals and 4 assists in all competitions.
He has started 11 times for Chelsea in the Premier League this season. Currently, Ipswich is in the automatic promotion places in the Championship. They aim to return to the Premier League after being relegated last season.
Key facts:
- Delap joined Chelsea for £30 million.
- Ipswich is currently in automatic promotion places.
- Delap scored 12 goals for Ipswich before moving.
- Chelsea wants a similar fee if selling him back.
- Everton and Leeds are also interested in Delap.
Yet, if Ipswich fails to secure automatic promotion, they could drop into the playoffs. The competition remains fierce as teams like Newcastle and Coventry are also vying for promotion.
Delap, now 23 years old, faces uncertainty about his future. His performance will be critical as he looks to regain form and contribute significantly—either back at Ipswich or elsewhere.
