Delph left Man City for Everton to increase chances of playing for England

Fabian Delph says he made the decision to leave Manchester City in hopes of boosting his chances of playing for England.

Delph completed an £8.5 million ($11m)u200b move to Everton last week, ending a four-year run with the City side he joined in the summer of 2015.

Having won the Premier League twice with the Manchester club, Delph made the decision to leave in search of more regular playing time this summer, with Everton his landing spot heading into the new season as he hopes to keep his place in the England squad.
