Transfer News: Leeds United plot swoop for £15m-rated Premier League defender

Leeds United News: Leeds United are plotting a move for Manchester City defender Fabian Delph.

The 29-year-old left-back found himself as second fiddle to the Ukranian Zinchenko this season, which has prompted him to seek an exit now.

The Cityzens have slapped a price tag of £15million for the English full-back and Leeds are looking to bring back their former player.

An academy graduate of Elland Road club, Delph played for around two seasons with the Whites before he became a mainstay at Aston Villa.

In fact, the England international spent an interim loan-spell with the Whites during his time at Villa Park.

Delph joined the Sky Blues in 2015 and couldn’t establish himself as a starter over the course. He has made a total of 89 appearances for the Cityzens.

The former Lions player has a contract until the end of next season.

Should Leeds move for Delph?

Marcelo Bielsa has a plethora of options to fill the left-back void back like Stuart Dallas, Ezgjan Alioski and Leif Davis.

And citing the price tag,  the Whites should stick to their prime left-defenders rather than going all-out for Delph.
