Leeds Reject Delph Bid

Leeds United have announced on their official site that they have rejected two bids from Premiership clubs for starlet Fabian Delph.

Now ignoring the fact I still don’t know who Fabian Delph is, I’ve seen plenty of talk on the forum about him and according to the rumour mill Martin O’Neill is hugely interested in adding the youngster to our ranks.

There is no confirmation that it is in fact Villa who have been knocked back, but given the fact the fight for Delph is said to be between us an Everton it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to put two and two together and give me an excuse to run an article on it.

The statement on the Leeds OS reads:

‘Leeds United can confirm that we have received offers direct from two Premiership clubs for Fabian Delph.

‘The offers have been rejected.’

They also say that approaches (in the plural) have been made for Jermaine Beckford, but there is no suggestion we are involved in that either.
