Delap told he can stop Man City going for Kane or Haaland as Wright-Phillips assesses No.9 needs

A former Blues star says there is no guarantee that Pep Guardiola will look to spend big another goalscorer in upcoming windows

Manchester City continue to see moves for the likes of Harry Kane and Erling Haaland mooted, but Shaun Wright-Phillips claims teenage frontman Liam Delap can keep Pep Guardiola out of the striker market.

The reigning Premier League champions bid farewell to Sergio Aguero over the summer, their all-time leading goalscorer, when he headed to Barcelona as a free agent.

Efforts were made to prise England captain Kane away from Tottenham to help fill that attacking void, while Haaland's exploits at Borussia Dortmund make him of obvious appeal, but no deals have been done and the Blues are having to make do.
