One of the most in-demand pundits at the moment, Gabby is also a regular on Sky Sports and talkSPORT.

Gabby Agbonlahor has suggested Fabian Delph may not want to move to Rangers for family reasons.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Delph's friend and ex-Aston Villa teammate insisted he was a "big family man" and may not want to relocate to Glasgow.

The 32-year-old is currently a free agent after leaving Everton in the summer and has been linked with a number of clubs.

Rangers

Football League World reported last week (16 September) that Rangers, Sheffield United, Middlesbrough, Sunderland and West Brom are all interested in the former England international.

It is claimed that Premier League clubs were also keen although the deadline to submit their 25-man squads has now passed.

"It's hard," Agbonlahor told Football Insider correspondent Connor Whitley.

"I think it all depends on what Delph is thinking about doing. He's had an amazing career, won trophies.

"If he wants to move his family to Scotland and continue playing there, then maybe.

"But it's hard to judge because I know he's a big family man and his kids will be in Manchester settled.

"It will all depend on what Rangers offer him and the package.

"I'm sure, knowing him, that Delph will still want to carry on playing football. He's an athlete and I'm sure he'll want to carry on.

"But he might have better options than Rangers, we're yet to see."

Delph has played just over 200 Premier League games across his time with Everton, Man City and Villa.

The 20-cap international has struggled with injuries in recent years and has only made 12 starts across all competitions in the past two seasons.
