What The Papers Say - 19 February

Caught Offside speculates that Everton are "keeping an eye" on Chelsea forward Liam Delap's situation at Stamford Bridge.

The online outlet claims that the striker, who was heavily linked with a move to Merseyside last summer, could leave his current at the end of the season.

Everton are said to face stiff competition for Delap's signature, with Manchester United, Newcastle United, Brighton and Sunderland also linked with the former Ipswich Town player.

Meanwhile, Inside Futbol features quotes from Accrington Stanley manager John Doolan regarding the progress of Isaac Heath's loan.

The winger picked up his 11th goal contribution for Stanley on Tuesday evening by assisting the all-important goal in a 1-0 win away at Tranmere Rovers, and Doolan has been impressed with the youngster's performances.

"With Isaac Heath there, he’s got that magic about him," Doolan remarked.

"He can beat his man and go both ways, and he can beat his man 1-v-1.

"I said to Paddy [Madden] at the end that I just wanted him to be in there when he [Heath] put that pinpoint cross in, and Paddy’s a great header [of the ball].”
