talkSPORT: Drapp is expected to make a decision on the future this week, with Chelsea leading the battle

May 26th According to British media talkSPORT, Drapp is expected to make a decision on his future this week. Chelsea hopes that the qualifying for the Champions League can attract players to join.

reported that the 22-year-old striker is expected to leave Ipswich this summer, with his contract containing 30 million pounds of termination clauses.

It is reported that Drapp has had a conversation with Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle and Everton. Manchester United believes that they have done enough work to sign Drapp and believe that Drapp hopes to return to the northwest of England.

But now it seems that Chelsea is leading the way in this battle, with Blues coach Maresca knowing Drapp when he was an assistant coach at Manchester City.

Speaking of Drapp's final whereabouts, talkSPORT chief football reporter Alex Crook said:

"What I learned is that Drapp tends to join Manchester United because he wants to go back to the northwest of England and live there, he used to be a Manchester City player.

But Drapp does want to play in the Champions League, so I now doubt whether this has affected Manchester United signing him.

More rumors I heard this morning are that Drapp may eventually join Chelsea, and we are working hard to figure it out."
