Number of Derby County deadline day targets revealed, Paul Warne also has free agent plan in place

Derby County has already added ten new players as a result of their active summer transfer window.

Tawanda Chirewa signed on loan from Wolves earlier this week, but it appears Paul Warne is eager to recruit more players before the summer transfer window closes.

A couple of names are connected to moves at Pride Park; two forwards were brought up recently.

Derby County is reportedly interested in both Preston striker Will Keane and Bolton Wanderers’ Victor Adeboyejo.

After a rocky start to the 2024–25 Championship season, Derby seems to need additional firepower. The Rams’ most recent game ended in a 2-1 loss to Watford.

Warne, however, could use more talent everywhere on the field given how strong the Championship team is this season.

Now, in advance of the August 30th, 11 p.m. summer transfer deadline. The intentions that Warne has for the last day of the summer transfer window have been made public.

According to Dominic Dietrich, a journalist for the BBC, Warne is “confident” that his team will close several agreements on Friday. This was disclosed on X.

In addition, Dietrich discloses that Derby County has three transfer targets by deadline day, but the team will have fierce competition to sign them.

If none of those three work out, Warne might look to the free agent market following deadline day.

Derby fans will be perplexed as to why it seems like they have left so much of their summer business till the very end.

However, there are probably a few reasons for it: the Premier League season has begun, and more young players are now available for loan agreements; the season’s beginning has highlighted one or two areas that Warne now feels he has to strengthen.

Even so, it takes a lot of work to get one transaction completed on deadline day, much alone three, so Friday is sure to be hectic for everyone at Derby County.

Additionally, it’s important to take into account the reality that the greatest free agents have already been signed and that the ones who are still available are woefully unfit for competition.

Nevertheless, Warne’s confidence in deadline day transactions suggests that the Rams could have a very successful day.
