Villa set for Delph swoop
Sky Sports News understands that Aston Villa have agreed a fee with Leeds United for talented young midfielder Fabian Delph.
A number clubs had been credited with an interest in the highly-rated England Under 21 international following his impressive displays at Elland Road.
Whites boss Simon Grayson confirmed at the weekend that two bids from Premier League teams had been received, but both were rejected as they did not meet the League One club's valuation.
Manchester City, Tottenham and Everton were believed to be monitoring his progress, but Villa now appear to have jumped to the head of the queue.
With an accord reached between the two clubs, Delph is now expected to travel to the Midlands to discuss personal terms with Martin O'Neill's men.
O'Neill is determined to improve his squad ahead of the new season as he looks to build on last term's sixth-placed finish.
