Tottenham's North London rival Arsenal is eyeing the recruitment of Wonderkid.

British media Daily Star reported on the 1st (Korea time) that Arsenal, which is in desperate need of reinforcing front-line strikers, is interested in a young prospect worth £30 million.

Arsenal's next-generation striker, predicted by the media, is 22-year-old Liam Delap (Ipswich Town), a former England youth international.

Delap is the son of Rory Delap (Stoke City Coach), who threw throw-ins well 'Human Dialysis Machine'. Growing up in Manchester City, he is known as a 'military day school' even though his team, Ipswich, is having a difficult season.

Even in Ipswich, which rarely creates chances to score, he scored eight goals this season and is attracting attention as a promising striker. Unlike his father, who was a midfielder, Delap, who grew up as a striker, has as much soccer intelligence and power as experienced players even though he is a young player, and his sharp finishing ability is considered an advantage.

However, due to the poor objective power of his team, Ipswich, it is evaluated as a 'unfinished standby' that has not yet been able to unfold its talents.

On top of that, Arsenal are sending love calls. Arsenal recently showed interest in Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa), but it was reportedly canceled because Aston Villa demanded excessive transfer fees.

As an alternative to this, it turned to Delap. Arsenal have not been able to address the woes of their absence in position nine for the past decade. Arsenal often lost the majority of their strikers to the Middle East leagues who tried to `bite' them.

In the meantime, Delap has emerged as the best option for Arsenal. The Daily Star quoted sources as predicting that a bid of between 25 and 35 million pounds would be sufficient for Ipswich to sell Delap.

Daily Star said 'Arnall is not the only club looking for a striker in the EPL. Chelsea and Tottenham are also interested in recruiting Delap, the report said.

In the end, Arsenal are expected to play an off-the-shelf North London derby with Tottenham over the recruitment of Delap.
