Paul Merson has questioned why Unai Emery didnt try to sign Fabian Delph this summer.

Delph left Manchester City to join Everton in July, but Arsenal were never linked with a transfer move for the midfielder.

Summer signing and Real Madrid playmaker Dani Ceballos is already impressed fans at Arsenal, but Merson insists Delph is an upgrade on Arsenals current midfielders.

I look at him and wonder why Arsenal didnt sign him, Merson said on Sky Sports.

He is better than the midfield three that played against Tottenham.

He could have played at left back instead of Kolasinac on Sunday.

I am a big fan of Delph. He can play in certain positions and is an excellent signing for Everton.
