“Liam Delap I believe he’s an old-school number nine, a bit similar to Harry Kane,” he said.

“He always is a threat in ✅behind, he causes defenders all sorts of problems, he likes to work hard and gets a lot of goals.

“Put him in a team✅, no disrespect to Ipswich, but put him in a team that provides a lot more c🌱hances, he’s going to have a very, very successful career.”

A🌌lan Shearer has also tipped Delap fo🔜r a bright future, even suggesting he could one day bec🔜omꦓe Kane’s successor for the Three Lions.

“I think Liam Delap will be one that we’ll see in the squad – it’ll be different between🌟 now and 18 months time,” he said on The Rest is Football after he and Gary Lineker were asked who’s next after Kane.

“I think, without a doubt, he’ll be one that – if he stays away from injury and if his career keeps going on the way that he’s going at the minute, he’s in a really struggling side at Ipswich-🦩 but he’s one of the standouts 🌸in their team

“I think ꦦhe’ll be one, without a doubt, for the future – I’m confident in sa✤ying that.”
