Reds target Fabian Delph signs new Aston Villa deal
Any rumours that Rodgers is lining up Delph as a long-term successor to Gerrard have been quashed as the midfielder signs a new four-and-a-half year contract at Villa, reports the Mirror.
The 25-year-old was in the final year of his current deal and looked set to leave either this January or in the summer, but despite the speculation the Englishman has committed his future to the Birmingham club.
Delph has become recognised as a leading figure in English football with his performances in recent times.
