Aston Villa could be on the hunt for a defensive-midfielder this summer after Glenn Whelan and Mile Jedinak were released. Dean Smith could benefit from signing a player with Premier League experience, international pedigree and a successful CV which could lead to them returning for Fabian Delph.
The 29-year-old has struggled for playing time at Manchester City and Simon Stone of BBC Sport says he will be put up for sale by Pep Guardiola. Delph made only 11 Premier League appearances last season, making one assist. He racked up just 725 minutes of football in the top-flight and could be open to joining a club willing to give him regular playing time.
