England international striker Liam Delap has officially declined to renew his contract with Ipswich Town, instead opting for a high-profile €35 million move to Tottenham Hotspur. The transfer follows weeks of intense negotiations and speculation surrounding Delap’s future, with Manchester United also strongly linked to the 21-year-old forward. However, Delap made his intentions clear this morning by agreeing to personal terms on a five-year deal with Spurs.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is believed to have played a key role in the deal’s breakthrough, notably deciding to cut short Mathys Tel’s loan spell and send the French attacker back to Germany. Delap’s arrival is expected to bolster Spurs’ attacking options significantly, as manager Ange Postecoglou continues to reshape the squad for next season.
Spurs supporters have been celebrating the news, viewing Delap as a promising and dynamic addition to their frontline. His impressive performances for Ipswich in the Championship caught the attention of top Premier League sides, but it was Tottenham who ultimately secured his signature. Delap is expected to join up with his new teammates ahead of the club’s preseason tour.
