Derby County news: John Swift transfer talks, Jerry Yates stance, Patrick Agyemang race
Despite being in the middle of the off-season, there’s still plenty going on at Derby County.
We eagerly await the start of the new campaign, which will also mark the start of manager John Eustace’s first full season as the Rams’ boss, after being appointed back in February.
The hottest talk a Pride Park centres around Charlotte FC striker Patrick Agyemang, who has been linked with a $7m move to Derby, and related parties have all since been piling in with their thoughts.
Here, Football League World round up the latest on Agyemang and everything else happening at Derby…
Talks held with ex-West Bromwich Albion midfielder
Derby are reportedly set to battle Stoke City for out-of-contract West Brom man John Swift, according to Birmingham World.
The midfielder made 36 Championship appearances for the Baggies last term, scoring three goals and assisting one, but was released from the Midlands outfit following the expiry of his contract.
| Swift in the Championship last term, as per WhoScored | |
|---|---|
| Starts (Sub) | 19 (17) |
| Goals | 3 |
| Assists | 1 |
| Tackles per 90 | 1 |
| Key passes per 90 | 1 |
| Pass success rate | 87.6% |
It could therefore make for a cheap deal for Derby, but as many as four Championship clubs are believed to be interested.
The 30-year-old also reportedly has admirers in Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the United States, so the Rams will need to move quick if they want to land Swift.
