Tottenham Hotspur could be ready to swoop for Aston Villa midfielder Fabian Delph in January, in order to fix their current crisis the Mirror are reporting.

The England midfielder’s current deal with Villa runs out at the end of the current season, and numerous clubs are reportedly lurking around to snap the midfielder up on a free at the end of the season. But, it is understood that Daniel Levy could pay out a nominal fee to bring him to White Hart Lane in January.

The 24 year-old joined the Villains from Leeds in 2009, but last season he really showed what he was capable of, by producing some stellar performances which earned him calls from some fans to be included in Roy Hodgson’s World Cup squad. However, he was overlooked, but he did get his chance at the start of the current campaign and this form has seen him linked with a host of clubs.

It is ironic that Tottenham are chasing his signature, considering the vast amount of midfielder’s manager Mauricio Pochettino has at his disposal. But, if Delph keeps us his form there is no reason why can’t break into the side.
