Liam Delap transfer: Tottenham ahead of Arsenal for sensational deal
Tottenham have emerged as the favourites to sign Ipswich striker Liam Delap, according to the latest bookmakers’ odds.
The 21-year-old has eight goals in 21 Premier League matches after his summer move from Manchester City to Portman Road.
The England under-21 international has been linked with a £40million plus move to Spurs in the winter transfer window as Ange Postecoglou seeks to bolster his squad. [TEAMtalk]
The Lilywhites are the favourites to sign Delap before 3 February at odds of 11/2 with William Hill ahead of Arsenal at 13/2 and Chelsea at 7/1.
Tottenham need attacking reinforcements
Spurs currently sit 15th in the Premier League with one win in their last ten matches in the competition, which has left Postecoglou under severe pressure.
The former Celtic boss needs reinforcements before the window ends with Antonin Kinsky the only signing made by the North London club so far.
The need for a forward has been exacerbated by star striker Dominic Solanke being ruled out for up to six weeks with a knee injury.
Former Spurs scout Bryan King exclusively told Tottenham News that he believes that a bid of £50m would be accepted by the Tractor Boys.
If that fee is accurate then a deal for the young English sensation is a no-brainer for the Lilywhites as it would lift the mood around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium exponentially.
However, whether owner and notoriously frugal Daniel Levy is prepared to sanction a potential £50m plus transfer remains to be seen.
