Liam Delap could be an expensive signing for Leeds, but he’s a player worth pursuing if they can recruit him within their budget.
Liam Delap was regarded as a very highly-rated prospect at Manchester City not so long ago.
Having established himself as a real force in City’s academy and performed for England at a youth international level, he looked set to be one of the view academy graduates who was going to be able to make a major first-team impact.
However, he is yet to make a major impression for the senior side at the Etihad Stadium, being sent out on a series of loans in recent years instead, most recently spending time at Hull City.
Delap did fairly well at the MKM Stadium and impressed on numerous occasions, including against eventual champions Leicester City during the early stages of the campaign.
An injury limited his impact in East Yorkshire, but he still did enough to put himself in the shop window and it looks as though he will be moving on in the coming months.
According to Alan Nixon, Delap will be allowed to leave Pep Guardiola’s side permanently this summer due to the club’s Financial Fair Play issues.
He could cost around £10 million to recruit, with City potentially including a buy-back clause, according to The Sun.
