Chelsea and Man City eye ‘next Cole Palmer’ Liam Delap
The West London club have had immense success from former Man City academy graduates with Cole Palmer and Romeo Lavia both making names for themselves at Chelsea.
Palmer is the obvious archetype, providing 52 goal contributions in 59 appearances across all competitions since moving to Stamford Bridge.
For now, however, Delap appears focused on doing the best he can to keep Ipswich in the Premier League, taking to Instagram to share the club’s recent post.
