Arsenal should sign Delap ahead of £150m-rated Isak

Arsenal spent most of last summer searching for a striker to bolster their ranks but failed with moves for Benjamin Sesko and Joshua Zirkzee.

The Gunners exited the market empty-handed as Eddie Nketiah joined Crystal Palace, leaving Mikel Arteta with only Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz as his centre-forward options.

Havertz continues to blow hot and cold, while Jesus’ persistent injuries remain a cause for concern despite his recent uptick in form.

Arsenal still need to sign a centre-forward next summer and have been linked to Newcastle United man Alexander Isak. However, the Magpies have set a £150 million price tag on the Swedish striker.

The Gunners should steer clear of the overpriced Isak and must consider Ipswich Town star Liam Delap, who has been turning heads with his performances this season.

Delap proved his mettle with an unforgettable performance against Chelsea last night. He delivered the kind of showing that should put clubs like Arsenal on red alert.

The 21-year-old won a soft penalty off a trailing leg from Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen. He stepped up and converted the spot-kick emphatically.

Delap made his presence felt from the first minute, leaving his mark on Tosin Adarabioyo, Moises Caicedo and Levi Colwill.

He also set up Omari Hutchinson to score the second goal, topping a terrific centre-forward performance.

It was only his seventh goal of the season, but Delap showed all the makings of an excellent Premier League striker.

He never stopped running the channels and turned half-chances into opportunities with vicious strikes from every angle.

Manager Kieran McKenna called him ‘top’ after his fine outing. Arsenal should be all over a deal for the former Manchester City attacker.

His hunger, physical presence and ability to create chances out of nothing make him an ideal candidate to solve Arsenal’s striking woes.

Investing in Delap would not only strengthen their attacking options but also align with the club’s philosophy of nurturing young talent.

With the right guidance under Arteta, Delap could evolve into the lethal striker Arsenal desperately need to compete at the highest level.

For the Gunners, it’s time to think smart and secure the future by making Delap a key part of their plans.
