Merson says Arsenal should've gone for Delph

Arsenal hero Paul Merson says they should've gone for Fabian Delph this summer.

Delph left Manchester City for Everton at the end of last season.

Merson believes the England international is better than Granit Xhaka, Mattéo Guendouzi and Lucas Torreira.

"I look at him and wonder why Arsenal didn't sign him," he told Sky Sports. "He is better than the midfield three that played against Tottenham.

"He could have played at left back instead of Kolasinac on Sunday. I am a big fan of Delph. He can play in certain positions and is an excellent signing for Everton."
