Mark Hughes has confirmed big-spending Manchester City are interested in Leeds United's England Under-21 starlet Fabian Delph. The 19-year-old has been attracting Premier League interest this summer with Aston Villa and Everton reportedly having bids turned down. Spurs boss Harry Redknapp recently revealed his admiration of the teenager and now Hughes has confirmed City have joined the party. Hughes claims City are interested in Delph, although he stopped short of confirming the Eastlands outfit would be tabling a bid. "We have an interest in the situation," stated Hughes following City's 1-1 draw with Barnsley. "He is a young player who has been brought to our attention. "I'm not sure where we are up to with that because obviously I have been busy with the game today."
