Arsenal hero Keown urges Delph to stick with Villa

Arsenal hero Martin Keown has urged Fabian Delph to stick with Aston Villa.

Writing in the Daily Mail, Keown explained: "Fabian Delph has a big decision to make. His contract is running down at Aston Villa and he'll soon be able to join any club for free. Now he's an England international, he'll be highly sought after.

"Who knows, maybe even the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City will offer him a deal - they need to fulfil English quotas and he's a talented player.

"But a move like that is probably the worst thing Delph can do. Does he want to play regular first-team football for the rest of his career or become the next Steve Sidwell or Scott Sinclair, picking up wages but getting next to no playing time at a big club?"
