Fulham Line Up Delph As Bullard Replacement
The Cottagers, however, are reluctant to meet his £8 million valuation.
Jan 24, 2009 8:43:09 AM
Fulham manager Roy Hodgson is eager to add Leeds United midfielder Fabian Delph to his squad to fill the void left by Jimmy Bullard following his £5 million transfer to Hull City, according to the Daily Mirror.
However, the League One club are demanding £8 million for the England under-21 international midfielder, while the Cottagers are hoping to land him for the same fee that saw Bullard move to the KC Stadium.
The 19-year-old's impressive form for Leeds, which has seen him find the back of the net six times in 25 appearances, has led to comparisons with Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.
Newcastle United and Arsenal are reported to have already had bids turned down, although it is claimed that the latter are considering meeting the £8 million valuation.
