Leeds resist further Delph bids
Leeds United have confirmed 'resisting approaches' from other Premier League clubs for Fabian Delph after accepting an offer from Aston Villa.
Delph is travelling to Villa to hold talks over personal terms after Leeds agreed a fee for the sale of the England Under 21 international.
The teenage midfielder has been tracked by a string of clubs, with Everton, Manchester City and Tottenham also showing an interest over the summer.
Whites boss Simon Grayson confirmed the club had turned down two offers for Delph recently, but have now accepted Villa's bid.
The League One club also revealed that, since settling on a fee with Villa, other top-flight teams have tried to hijack the deal.
A club statement read: "Leeds United can confirm that a fee has been agreed with Aston Villa for Fabian Delph.
"Leeds United wishes to place on record our appreciation for the honourable manner in which Aston Villa have conducted their interest in the player.
"The club has resisted approaches from other FA Premier League clubs since agreeing terms with Aston Villa.
"Having given Villa our commitment to transfer the player (subject to medical), we had no intention of going back on that."
