Leeds have dismissed reports that teenage midfielder Fabian Delph is poised to complete a ¦pound;4million move to Everton. Delph, 19, linked with a host of Premier League clubs following an impressive first season in Simon Grayson's Leeds side, is reported to have opted for a switch to Goodison Park ahead of Manchester United, Fulham and Sunderland. But Leeds chief executive Shaun Harvey said: "Despite the speculation, there have been no offers for Fab since the end of the season." Harvey continued: "At this stage of the year speculation is always rife, although it's never helpful." Delph, who made 51 appearances during his breakthrough season, signed a new four-year contract at Elland Road in September. He won his first England Under-21 cap against the Czech Republic in November and scooped his club's players' player of the year, young player of the year and goal of the season awards.
