This move comes as Forest look to bolster their attacking options, especially with veteran forward Chris Wood approaching the twilight of his career. Delap, 22, has been in impressive form since joining Ipswich from Manchester City in July 2024, scoring 12 goals in 33 Premier League appearances .
Delap’s performances have attracted attention from several top clubs, including Manchester United and Chelsea, both of whom are reportedly keen on acquiring the young striker. However, Delap is said to prefer a move to Arsenal or Chelsea, potentially snubbing Manchester United’s interest .
Ipswich Town have set a £30 million release clause for Delap, activated by their relegation from the Premier League. This clause has made Delap an attractive prospect for clubs looking to strengthen their attacking options. Nottingham Forest’s interest indicates their intent to plan for the future, considering the age of their current forwards.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Delap’s future remains uncertain, with several clubs vying for his signature. Nottingham Forest’s official interest adds them to the list of potential suitors, but Delap’s preference for other clubs may influence his decision.
