Delap done - which other strikers will be wanted this summer?

The battle for Liam Delap is over - after the 22-year-old striker moved to Chelsea from Ipswich for £30m.

Conference League winners Chelsea beat the likes of Manchester United, Newcastle and Everton to Delap's signature to become the first Premier League club to sign a high-profile striker this summer.

But with the clubs that missed out on Delap - plus Arsenal and Liverpool - among those keen for extra firepower, the race to add those all-important extra goals continues.

The first part of the summer transfer window closes on 10 June and reopens on 16 June - with sides having until 1 September to bolster their squads.
