Ipswich have snapped up Manchester City forward Liam Delap on a five-year contract as the newly-promoted Premier League side aim to bolster their attack for the new season.

The 21-year-old, who has joined for an undisclosed fee, is Town's fourth summer signing as they prepare for life back in the top flight.

England Under-21 international Delap told Town TV: "I'm really excited. The manager here likes to play exciting football. It's quick and intense and I am looking forward to that.

"I want to bring goals and assists and I'll work as hard as I can to help the team."

Delap played just six times for Manchester City, spending loan spells at Stoke, Preston and Hull in the last two seasons.

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna said: "We are delighted to bring Liam to the club. He is a player with outstanding physical and technical attributes who has a hunger to come here and continue to learn and improve.

"He has gained good first-team experience from a young age and we feel he has the potential for development here."
