Gary Lineker has urged ARSENAL to target Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap following their FA Cup exit to Manchester United, as many rumours continue to circle about who the Gunners will sign this January
Mikel Arteta is now facing fresh calls to sign a new forward in the January transfer window after the Gunners squandered several chances during their defeat to United on penalties at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
And add that to the injury that Gabriel Jesus has again picked up, Fans believe that a new forward needs to be signed over the next few weeks if the club are to continue chasing down Liverpool for that Premier League title.
Delap is having a fine season in the Premier League for Ipswich this season and has been linked with a move to both Chelsea and Liverpool in recent weeks, and although his eight goals are not that impressive, his performances have been quality.
Lineker, however, has suggested that Arsenal should identify a striker who offers potential and named 21-year-old Delap, who Ipswich signed for £20m, as a potential option for Arteta’s side.
‘I said it at the beginning of the season, I felt that’s what they [Arsenal] needed and I think that would possibly cost them the league not investing in that position,’ Alan Shearer said during BBC Sport’s post-match analysis of Arsenal’s defeat to United.
Lineker replied: ‘It’s probably been wanting someone for some time a player in that position. ‘Or they could go for a young, up-and-coming one, because once they’re proven you can’t get them, but someone like Delap I see has got a real something about him.”

Delap has shown over the past few weeks that he has the potential to become a deadly striker for one of the top teams in the Premier League, he really is a talent that could be nurtured into the next Harry Kane.
The problem for the lad is that he would be joining a side that would not play him every week, something that he is getting at Ipswich. So if ARSENAL do come calling, the decision could make or break his career.
