Ipswich Town are actively seeking to bolster their attacking options in the upcoming January transfer window. With concerns over the potential departure of their leading striker, Liam Delap, who has attracted interest from clubs like Aston Villa , the club is exploring alternatives to maintain their offensive strength.

Ipswich now make contact to sign £10k-p/w Liam Delap alternative in January

One prominent target is Emmanuel Latte Lath, a 25-year-old striker currently with Middlesbrough. Reports indicate that Ipswich have initiated contact regarding a potential January move for Latte Lath, who has been in impressive form this season, netting eight goals in 21 Championship appearances. His agent has suggested that a transfer could be on the horizon, stating, “We expect something to happen in January. He’s a striker, and strikers are always in demand in the January transfer window.”

 

Liam Delap, who joined Ipswich from Manchester City in July 2024 for an initial £15 million , has been a standout performer, leading the team’s scoring charts with six goals in the Premier League. However, his impressive performances have garnered attention from other Premier League clubs, raising concerns about his future at Portman Road.

 

In response, Ipswich’s management is proactively seeking reinforcements to ensure the team’s competitiveness remains intact. The potential acquisition of Latte Lath would provide valuable depth and experience to Ipswich’s attacking lineup, addressing the need for additional goal-scoring options.

 

As the January transfer window approaches, Ipswich Town’s recruitment efforts will be closely monitored by supporters and analysts alike, eager to see how the club navigates these potential changes to their  squad.
