Tottenham have made contact over a move for a Chelsea star this summer, according to TeamTalk, as the club ramp up their efforts to land another player in a busy transfer window.
So far, the Lilywhites have been the busiest team in the Premier League, making four quickfire signings to begin Roberto De Zerbi's rebuild in style.
The defence and goalkeeping ranks have been reinforced heavily so far, meaning attention can quickly turn towards other areas of interest.
The midfield is one, as talks for Sandro Tonali ramp up, while reports claim that an agreement has been reached to sign Mateus Fernandes this summer.
Then there's the forward ranks. A winger or two could be on the cards, but so could a striker, who may offer something more up front.
Tottenham Explore Liam Delap Transfer
A striker signing could be on the cards this summer, as TeamTalk reports that Tottenham have made enquiries over a move for Liam Delap.
The 23-year-old only moved to Stamford Bridge last year, but struggled to make an impact as he scored just twice across all competitions for the Blues.
That was off the back of a successful Premier League campaign with Ipswich Town, where he was described as a "beast", but he appeared unable to tap into that side of him over the previous year.
A mixture of injuries, discipline, and poor form all played into Delap's struggles, and he is now facing the possibility of leaving Chelsea after a short stay with the club.
Tottenham are believed to be one of the teams in the mix, though no concrete move has been made yet, while other Premier League rivals muscle in on the conversation.
Newcastle and Everton are claimed to have interest in the forward, and could look to explore a potential deal in the coming weeks of the transfer market.
Chelsea are looking for a £40 million fee to let Delap leave, a transfer valuation that may put some suitors off after his £30 million move last year.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham will push on to complete a move, but they appear to be in the mix.
Could Tottenham Reboot Delap?
A move for Delap would be an interesting one for Tottenham, though it may not get many favourable glances from fans looking at the potential deal.
The struggles of Dominic Solanke and Richarlison suggests that a striker addition would be welcomed, but the Chelsea man may not be the most glamorous of arrivals.
At times he has struggled with the pace of the game for the Blues, particularly from the bench, and when he has imposed himself physically, it has often looked messy - see the challenge on Djed Spence for more proof of that.
However, during his season with Ipswich, there was clearly some potential there. If Spurs can grab Delap on a bargain transfer fee, then there is a chance to rediscover that ability and come out as winners.
But it remains to be seen whether that is a distinct possibility.
