New Villa management excited by Delph prospects

Aston Villa No2 Gary McAllister says they're keen to start working with former Leeds United whizkid Fabian Delph.

Currently recovering from knee surgery, Delph moved to Villa for £6million in the summer of 2008 and McAllister has no doubt he can be a force for the midlands club.

He said: "He is a talented boy, no doubt about that, and honest player and someone I admire. He loves to play and he loves training. He's a bit frustrated at the moment but he is getting closer.

"This (break) has been a good chance for him to reflect and have a good look at the Premier League."
