EPL: Fantastic player, he scored 24 goals – Maresca hails Chelsea target

Chelsea boss, Enzo Maresca has hailed Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap ahead of both teams’ Premier League clash on Monday at Portman Road.

Chelsea have been linked with a move for Delap in recent weeks.

Delap worked with Maresca during their time together at Manchester City’s U-23 side.

Speaking at his pre-match interview ahead of Chelsea’s clash with Ipswich Town, Maresca branded the 21-year-old as a fantastic player, insisting that he scored 24 goals in a season.

“Liam is a fantastic player, we spent one year together. I think he scored 22 or 24 goals,” Maresca said.

“This is a very good striker – works hard off the ball, on the ball, he understands the game and he can score goals.

“Because of his age, I think he can be an important player for England.”
