Delgado eyes final spot

Agustin Delgado, Southampton’s reformed rebel striker from Ecuador, insists he will be ready to tackle Arsenal on FA Cup final day – if Saints can brush past First Division Watford in tomorrow’s semi-final at Villa Park.

World Cup star Delgado angered St Mary’s fans by briefly quitting Britain two months ago following a row between his club and country, who accused Southampton of playing him too soon after a back injury.
