Fabian Delph wearing a black shirt: Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final: First Leg

​Manchester City's versatile midfielder Fabian Delph has been slapped with a £15m price tag ahead of his expected summer move away from the club.

The 29-year-old has spent the last four years in the north-west following a £10m move from Aston Villa, and Delph has gone on to make 89 appearances for Manchester City during that time.

Delph initially dropped out of the England squad after joining Manchester City but after three years he has been able to fight his way back into the national team, most recently featuring during their UEFA Nations League win over Croatia.
But Delph is expected to leave the club at the end of the season after deciding he wants to get more game time to remain in Gareth Southgate's plans moving forward, and Manchester City will demand a £15m transfer fee for his signature this summer.

One club source told The Sun: "Pep [Guardiola] has no issues with him whatsoever but there is a need to free up squad space for fresh blood.

"He would like a move to a decent club and just wants more starts. He has been a club hero here with what he has achieved.

"Fabian knows he will not be able to maintain his spot in the England squad for the Euros [in 2020] if he does not get game time though."

Delph's former club Leeds United, which is just a stone's throw away from his hometown Bradford, are interested in a fairytale reunion in the summer but Marcelo Bielsa's side are expected to be priced out of the deal after missing out on promotion.

It's claimed that a number of mid-table sides would be interested in securing Delph's signature ahead of the new season, with Manchester City being forced to sell this summer to avoid losing the midfielder on a free transfer next year.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
