Silva: Delph not a replacement for PSG & Man Utd target Gueye
Everton boss Marco Silva insists Fabian Delph has not been signed as a replacement for Paris Saint-German and Manchester United-linked Idrissa Gueye.
The Toffees have splashed out £10 million ($12m) on luring an England international midfielder away from Manchester City and Delph could slot seamlessly into a holding role at Goodison Park.
His presence may allow Gueye to seek a dream move elsewhere, with the Senegal international having made no secret of his desire to link up with PSG after missing out on a switch in January.

Silva, though, has no plans to part with the 29-year-old and claims Delph has not been acquired as a contingency plan.
