Newcastle United should consider a move for Manchester City’s Fabian Delph this summer.

According to the Sun, there is already a number of Premier League clubs that are keen on signing the 29-year-old during the summer transfer window.

It is understood that he’s likely to cost around £15million and that he’s searching for a new challenge away from the Etihad Stadium.

The report details that Championship club Leeds United will be priced out of a move for him, with a top-flight club “likely” to snap him up.

Delph, who earns £80,000-a-week, has just won back-to-back Premier League titles with Manchester City and is included in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the Nations League.

With the no-nonsense enforcer set for a move, Newcastle should definitely throw their name into the hat for him.

Delph is a versatile player that would be an excellent addition at St James’ Park and aged 29 he should still have some years left in the tank.

He is a central midfielder by trade that loves a tackle and also has a strong range of passing with his favoured left foot.

But he’s also shown at both club and international level that he can slot in at left-back excellently too.

Newcastle would be acquiring an experienced talent if they moved for Delph and his £15million price tag could be serious value for money.

Delph made 20 appearances across all competitions this campaign and definitely didn’t look out of place with English champions Manchester City.
