Stoke City

Stoke City are set to win the race for Manchester City's Liam Delap, who is also a target of West Bromwich Albion.

Delap only put pen-to-paper on a new deal at the Etihad Stadium last month and will now be hoping to take his game to the next level on the back of regular game time under O’Neill. Manchester City see Delap having a future at the club and have not agreed to include a purchase option in the deal to send him to Stoke. And the Potters have now won the race for Delap as they have reached an agreement with the Premier League champions over a loan deal for him.

As his loan move to Stoke from Manchester City moves closer, the options Liam Delap had to choose from has been revealed.

[ Elias Burke for The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/3507862/2022/08/16/wba-transfers-liam-delap), West Brom believed Delap possesses a similar playing style to Dike, and enquired about his availability with City. [Manchester City](https://www.sportbible.com/manchester-city) prospect Liam Delap is on the verge of leaving the club this summer, with [Stoke City](https://www.sportbible.com/stoke) expected to complete a loan deal for the striker in the next couple of days. [The Telegraph’s John Percy](https://twitter.com/jpercytelegraph/status/1559226758309847042?s=21&t=T1vlHC2R6ZuUBcvaivWEhA), Stoke City were the team most hopeful to see Delap follow in his father’s footsteps and take the pitch at the bet365 Stadium - and it looks like that's coming to fruition. As a result, City could look to move the striker out on loan for the season, and the [Erling Haaland](https://www.sportbible.com/erling-haaland) and Julian Alvarez in the centre-forward position have potentially blocked the teenager’s path to playing time.

Live match updates as Middlesbrough take on Stoke City at the bet365 Stadium in the Championship.

Just seeing a replay of the goal now. Ball crossed in but it's heading to Steffen. Mowatt with a great pass to an advancing McNair who flicks a header to Jones. Bossed the majority of that half possession wise and Stoke's goal is a howler from the ref. Stoke is not the best ground to upset the away fans. As he leaves the pitch, those 1,300+ Boro fans make clear what they think about him after that Jones decision in the build-up to Stoke's opener. Very definition of body on the line. Boro deserve to be ahead. Boro fail to clear their lines, ball goes back in and Wright-Phillips is free in between Dijksteel and Jones to head home from close range. Tries the right-footed curler and Bursik makes an excellent save to tip it round the post. Boro keeping the pressure on. Stoke could be the ideal opportunity as a side who've lost two of their opening three games.

Stoke City transfer news from StokeonTrentLive as Liam Delap is set to join on loan from Manchester City.

Delap seems very popular among the City academy, and he seems to have impressed last year with his attitude to his injury problems. He's also got really good movement and is very good with the ball at his feet taking on players. As good a prospect as Delap is, he's not going to displace Erling Haaland for City. One weakness is maybe his disciplinary record at academy level - there have been a few red cards and yellow cards at unhelpful times, and he's also spent most of the last year injured, so his task at Stoke will be to make himself available for as many games as possible. And there has been plenty of competition for his services, with West Bromwich Albion among the other interested parties.
