Premier League giants Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly set to battle for the signature of one striker this summer.

The striker market is set to be the most patronised this summer as several clubs scour the world for the most accomplished finishers.

Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and others are in the market for a new centre-forward, with the Red Devils in particular desperate for attacking reinforcements.

According to the Daily Mail, Ipswich Town's Liam Delap has emerged as a key target for Ruben Amorim.

This comes after we reported Chelsea's firm interest in signing the 22-year-old, and it seems Enzo Maresca will face stiff competition to land his man.

Ipswich are surely heading back to the Championship, which means Delap will be keen on playing top-flight football next season, and there are plenty of suitors.

Delap has scored 10 goals this season, for a side that has struggled to create or score enough, and his performances have been a standout feature of their season so far.

There is the beleif among many that Delap has all it takes to be one of England's best strikers and a move to bigger club could help hone his incredible talent.

With a relegation release clause rumoured to be £40m, this deal should be a no-brainer.
