New Aston Villa signing Fabian Delph says he never had his head turned by a rival offer from Manchester City.

Few have turned down a move to Eastlands this summer as Mark Hughes assembles a squad capable of challenging for Premier League honours.

However, Delph insists he is not motivated by money and that by leaving Leeds he is only looking to play and improve as a player.

"He's got a track record of bringing on a lot of English talent and making them into players so that's my reason," explained Delph on his decision to choose Villa.

"No definitely not," when asked if he was tempted to join Hughes' City. "I'm not motivated by money.

"I want to develop as a player and try to become the best player that I possibly can and I felt that this is the club that can help me to develop."
