Liam Delap unlikely to return to Manchester City, says Paul Robinson
However, it seems former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson is not convinced City will attempt such a thing with Delap, leaving him free to join the likes of Arsenal and Spurs.
“He just signed this season and started playing,” Robinson told Football Insider.
“It’s just a deal that’s not going to happen, you’ve seen Cole Palmer leave, that’s the thing with Manchester City’s younger players.
“They are not afraid to let the younger players out, they realize they have to play football, they also realize the situation in FFP and PSR.
“To bring him back is almost admitting you were wrong.
“If Ipswich continue to struggle this season I can’t see him leaving until the summer, I think it’s a summer deal.
“If Ipswich struggle this season but keep scoring the goals they are doing, they will be Premier League players next year, that’s for sure.”
