Ahead of entering the summer transfer market, a number of clubs have moved quickly to secure player signatures to strengthen their squads for next season.
Just mention Real Madrid who are actively moving by inaugurating Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen. Then names like Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold (TAA) and Benfica defender Alvaro Carreras will also soon dock at Santiago Bernabeu.
In Bavaria, Bayern Munich officially hijacked Bayer Leverkusen captain and defender Jonathan Tah for free.
Then in London, UEFA Conference League champions Chelsea are also reported to have secured the signature of Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap.
Regarding the latest case, The Blues must spend at least Rp661.4 billion or 30 million pounds sterling to get the services of the 22-year-old player.
Is that price worth it for a striker who has recorded 12 goals and 2 assists in 37 Premier League appearances?
Moreover, Chelsea are often fooled when it comes to recruiting strikers. Just mention the case of expensive strikers who flopped at Stamford Bridge such as Andriy Shechenko, Fernando Torres, Gonzalo Higuain, Radamel Falcao, Alvaro Morata, to Romelu Lukaku.
With the price of a pure number 9 striker increasing in the market, it seems that The Blues are trying to gamble by recruiting Delap in this summer's transfer market.
