Chelsea's head coach, Enzo Maresca, believes that Ipswich striker Liam Delap, whom he coached at Manchester City's academy, could become "an important player for the England national team."
Quote: "Liam is a fantastic player, especially considering his age. We spent one year together, and he scored about 22-24 goals. He is a very good forward.
There are many good players in England, many good strikers, but he works hard both with and without the ball, understands the game, and is capable of scoring goals. I believe he can become an important player for the England national team," said Maresca.
Reminder. Chelsea has been interested in acquiring the rising Premier League star, Liam Delap, for quite some time. The 21-year-old player is one of the key figures at Ipswich following their return to the Premier League, having scored six goals in his first full season in the top division.
