Last season, the 21-year-old had a successful run at the MKM Stadium, scoring eight goals in 31 league games to push the Tigers close to the Championship play-offs. While he hasn’t been consistent in his performances at Hull, Preston North End, and Stoke City, he has caught the eye of Premier League clubs. Ipswich has reportedly paid £15m for his transfer, with an additional £5m in potential add-ons.
In an interview with Town TV, Delap expressed his excitement about joining Ipswich, praising the positive atmosphere at the club and the style of play under the manager. He is eager to contribute with goals and assists and is committed to working hard for the team.
Despite interest from Southampton, Ipswich managed to secure Delap’s signature, adding to their list of coveted signings, including defender Ben Johnson. Manager Kieran McKenna lauded Delap’s physical and technical abilities, emphasizing his potential for growth and contribution to the team in the coming seasons.
