Derby County are set to be one of the most active clubs in the summer transfer window as Paul Warne prepares the team for the Championship. The Rams aim to get a head start with their transfer dealings, anticipating a busy summer in Derbyshire.
While Derby has yet to announce their released/retained list, fans will soon understand where Warne plans to strengthen the squad. Warne has indicated the need for reinforcements in every position to meet Championship standards. Here’s a roundup of the latest Derby County transfer news and rumors:
Derby County ‘Open Talks’ to Sign Herbie Kane
Derby’s midfield needs significant reinforcement following Max Bird’s permanent move to Bristol City and Ebou Adams’ return to Cardiff City. Although Derby recently made a £250,000 bid for Adams, the latest target is Barnsley midfielder Herbie Kane. Kane, whose contract expires in June, is expected to leave Barnsley, and Derby is reportedly set to open talks for a free transfer. Last season, Kane contributed nine goals and six assists in League One.
Derby County Set Sights on Sheffield Wednesday’s Josh Windass
The future of Sheffield Wednesday striker Josh Windass remains uncertain. While he is negotiating a new deal at Hillsborough, several Championship clubs, including Stoke City, Hull City, West Brom, and Derby, have shown interest. With no definitive decision yet on his stay, a number of second-tier teams are eager to sign him if he becomes available. Windass scored six goals in 25 appearances last season, playing a key role in one of the greatest escapes in Championship history for the Owls.
Derby considering move for Charlton striker Alfie May
Derby is aiming to strengthen their forward line significantly. Last season in League One, the Rams scored the fewest goals among teams in the top six, highlighting an area that needs improvement to compete in the second tier. Recent reports suggest a link to Charlton Athletic striker Alfie May, who emerged as the division’s top scorer with 27 goals. Derby’s interest in May is evident, signaling their intent to kickstart their transfer activities early in preparation for the Championship. Stay tuned for the latest Derby transfer news as they look to bolster their squad for the upcoming season.
