Delap: It’s time for a new challenge
Delap scored 12 goals in 37 matches for Ipswich in his first season of the Premier League, despite Kieranne’s side back to the championship.
Chelsea quickly started to sign Delap after the season ended with the final victory of the UEFA Conference over Real Betis. Their fourth Premier League standings earned them the Champions League football next season.
Delap has climbed on social networks on the goodbye to Ipswich, admitting that it’s time for a “new challenge”.
He said on his Instagram story, “Thank you for everything, Ipswich Town.
“Tim, manager, staff and club was amazing from the moment I arrived. For the fans, I appreciate the support you gave me a week a week, from the stands at home and on the road.

“I’m sure this club will soon return to the Premier League, where it belongs. I will never forget my time in town! Now is the time for a new challenge.”
Delap will reunite in Chelsea with Enz Maresca, Cole Palmer and Romeo Lavia – whom he knows from playing at the Youth Level with Manchester City.
After moving to Chelsea, City will need a 20 percent provision, which they negotiated when they sold Delap Ipswich last year.
Why Delap plays on the club World Cup – not the euro U21S
Delap will be free to play for Chelsea on Club World Cupwith a FA who could not impose his involvement in England team for the U21S European Championship.

This is because junior European tournaments are outside the FIFA international window.
FIFA rules dictate that national associations can tell selected players to put their country in front of club obligations, but only within pre-arranged dates for international competition.
The U21S euros will begin in Slovakia on June 11, but the official international window of FIFA lasts until June 10th.
Three Manchester City players were hit by a conflict with the World Cup Club – James McATEe, Nico O’reilly and Rico Lewis were part of Lee Carsley plans.
But only McATEE will be part of the U21S team, after City reached an agreement with FA about his situation. O’Reilly and Lewis will travel with the team of Pep Guardiola to the FIFA inaugural tournament in America.
Carsley is understood that he is quite relaxed with the situation, knowing that some other teams on the U21S euros will be more affected by England.
How ‘destructive’ Delap can best draw from Palmer and Chesea
What will the movement of Chelsea Liama Delapa mean to the form of Cole Palmer?
Sky Sports’ Sam Blitz:
Delap is not just someone to step up the fiery power of Chelsea – he is another forward who will best draw the Chelsea star in Palmer.
This is because Delap and Palmer worked together at a big effect at the Academy of Man City. From their U18 days, the couple played 33 times for the young teams of City or England. They beat 28 and lost only twice.
As for the game points, Palmer has only a better record with one career player – City’s Bernardo Silva. His partnership with Delap is as successful as what he had with Rodrod, who barely loses the game for Pep Guardiola’s side.
“I think they are so connected by one to serve the other,” says Brian Barry-Murphy, a coach who worked with both players in Man City Elite development, he says Sky Sports.
“You will see Cole recently saying how to play forward, be expressive and aggressive. Liam is the one who will be willing to make those movements.
“In City, we would always talk about Liam there is no reason not to run because Cole will find you. And it will be very interesting to see how it will manifest under Enzo Marec.”
