Chelsea are one of the clubs interested in signing Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap during the winter transfer window, according to Daily Mail.
The 21-year-old signed for the Tractor Boys from Manchester City last summer and he has fared well with seven goals and one assist to his name.
His progress has caught the eye of the Blues and the west London giants could make an approach at the beginning of the New Year.
However, their chances of signing him could depend on City’s stance, considering they have a buy-back clause in his contract.
City sold their academy graduate to Ipswich for £20m and there is reportedly an option to re-sign him for around £40m this winter.
Meanwhile, there is also a buy-out clause for other English clubs, but City have a big advantage in the player’s pursuit at the moment.
The club are lacking a proper back-up for Erling Braut Haaland and could be tempted to bring Delap back to the Etihad next month.
