'Ipswich will do very well to hold on to Delap'

Former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson says Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap has shown he is a "quality player" this season, after scoring a penalty and contributing an assist in their 2-0 win over Chelsea.
"He has been linked with some very big clubs, hasn't he?" Robinson said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast. "There are some big clubs, as we know, that will be looking to make some big moves in the January window.
"Ipswich will do very well to hold on to him. If they don't survive in the Premier League, you can't see his future being there.
"He is a quality player. He led the line on his own against Chelsea. At times, Chelsea were playing a back five with four players in front, and they defended resolutely, but he was always an outlet.
"He is a pest. He is a nuisance. He is always there on the shoulders of the centre-backs. He is making runs in the channels. He is always available.
"When it looks like he isn't going to win the ball, he puts his body in between the player and the ball, somehow managing to win a free-kick or something for his team.
"He is a top, top player."
