The 21-year-old spent last season on loan in Yorkshire, scoring eight goals in 32 appearances for the Tigers.

Manchester City sanctioned a permanent exit for the frontman in the summer, selling him to Premier League newcomers Ipswich Town.

He has been a revelation at Portman Road, notching eight goals in 22 outings and fuelling talk of interest from Chelsea.

According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham are also weighing up a swoop for the England under-21s marksman.

Ipswich are said to be keen to retain Delap, slapping a £40m on his head as a minimum price tag. Despite their desire not to sell, the report claims money could well talk.

The club are believed to be keen on recruiting new defenders, as well as a new forward option.
