Crystal Palace might provide significant playing time for Delap, as they have scored four stars in this category according to SciSports. There are rumors that Jean-Philippe Mateta may leave in the summer, which could further increase Delap's opportunities for playing time. It is anticipated that Delap will be available for just €35 million (£30m) in the summer once Ipswich’s relegation is confirmed, potentially sparking a bidding war among interested clubs such as Manchester United and Chelsea. Although these major clubs have shown interest, Crystal Palace is emerging as a leading contender to offer Delap ample playing time, presenting a strong option for his career progression.
