King says £30m Premier League striker open to Everton move as Moyes urges TFG to seal the deal.
David Moyes eyes Liam Delap for Everton, and the 61-year-old may be closing in on his target.
After orchestrating a swift and impressive turnaround at Goodison Park, David Moyes will be eager to build on that momentum as Everton prepare to move into their new home at Bramley-Moore Dock next season.
With an eye on strengthening the squad, Moyes is expected to hold discussions with the Friedkin Group, who are now in control of the club, to push for ambitious signings that reflect Everton’s renewed direction.
One key area in need of reinforcement is the striker position, particularly with Dominic Calvert-Lewin likely to depart this summer.
Encouragingly, a promising update has emerged regarding a potential move for Ipswich Town forward Liam Delap.
According to Alan Nixon (via Patreon, 13 April), Moyes is targeting Delap as a key summer signing.
Everton are said to have the necessary funds and are prepared to wait for the right moment to move in.
If Ipswich are relegated—a scenario that now appears inevitable—Delap could be available for £30 million.
Despite competition from Chelsea and Manchester United, Everton may still have an edge in the race for Delap.
Former Goodison Park scout Bryan King, speaking to Goodison News, believes the club’s current trajectory makes them a highly attractive option for the 22-year-old striker.
“Everton have a new manager and will move into a new stadium next season.
Things are on the up,” said King. “Delap began at Manchester City, then proved himself in the Premier League with Ipswich.
Everton could be the ideal next step. They’re a big club with strong support and a bright future. Why wouldn’t Delap want to join?”
Securing Delap would be a strong statement from Everton as they embark on a new chapter at Bramley-Moore Dock.
He would not only represent a significant upgrade to Moyes’ current attacking options but would also signal the club’s serious intent to compete and progress under new leadership.
If the opportunity to sign Delap materializes, the Friedkin Group should prioritize the deal.
Bringing in a young, Premier League-proven striker like Delap would reflect Everton’s ambition and align perfectly with Moyes’ vision for the club’s future.
