According to a January transfer window preview from The Athletic — only a month away, in case the football bores you — young striker Rory Delap has caught the eye of all the big teams in the Premier League and they’re all tracking him closely at Ipswich Town (though probably for a move next summer).

Follow live coverage as Ipswich Town face Manchester United today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
