Everton shock Liverpool with stunning £30m hijack

Liverpool have their eyes on bringing in Premier League-proven players in the summer transfer window to bolster Arne Slot’s squad in the summer. However, they are facing shock competition from Everton for one of their top targets in the upcoming window.

The Reds do not want to stand still after winning the Premier League, and the club are pushing towards securing deals for a few players early in the summer.

Liverpool’s interest in players such as Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez shows that the club are prioritising bringing personnel who have proved themselves in the intensity of the Premier League.

The club are eyeing to bring in a forward who is a proven goalscorer in the top flight of English football, but one target could be on his way to Everton in the summer.

Everton are pushing Liverpool hard in pursuit of a Premier League star

Liam Delap will leave Ipswich Town this summer, and his £30m release clause makes him a gettable target for almost all of the Premier League teams.

Liverpool are interested in getting their hands on the forward, and sees this as a great opportunity to sign a homegrown striker who has proven himself in the top flight this season.

However, according to TEAMTalk, Everton are putting in an almighty effort to convince the forward to choose them over other Premier League teams.

David Moyes has spoken to Delap, and Everton are prepared to make him the face of the club as they move to the new stadium next season.

However, the striker has not made a decision and is expected to have offers from teams in the Champions League in the summer.

Delap also wants a massive contract compared to his current wages, and it is unclear whether Everton would be able to offer such a contract.

The striker is expected to wait until the end of the season before making a decision on his new club.
