Alarm bells ringing at Liverpool as Chelsea push aggressively for an early deal to sign top striker target

Liverpool are certain to sign a new number 9 as Darwin Nunez is expected to be sold in the summer. Arne Slot wants a new striker, and the club have been tracking several targets. However, they are now facing the threat of losing out on a top target due to Chelsea’s aggressive move.

The Reds are set to win the Premier League this season, but Arne Slot is pushing to carry out a radical reconfiguration of his attack in the next transfer window.

Nunez is not part of the Liverpool manager’s plans, and he wants to bring in a new number 9 who is more aligned to carry out his style of football up front.

Alexander Isak is the top target, but Liverpool are aware that getting him out of Newcastle United would be a tall order. Another Premier League star is on their radar, but Chelsea’s aggressive move could end Liverpool’s hopes of landing him.

Chelsea want to sign Liverpool’s target before the Club World Cup

Liam Delap has scored 12 Premier League goals this season for a struggling Ipswich Town side who are almost certain to get relegated from the Premier League.

A £30m clause will be activated in his contract once Ipswich’s relegation is confirmed, and Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are interested in signing him.

However, according to Simon Phillips’ substack, Chelsea have emerged as early favourites to sign the Ipswich Town hitman in the summer.

The Blues have reopened negotiations with the striker’s representatives to set up a deal early in the next transfer window.

It has been claimed that Chelsea are aggressively pushing to sign Delap before the Club World Cup starts in June.

Liverpool will need to respond fast and soon if they do not want to lose out on Delap to Chelsea in the summer.
