3 midfielders Derby County must eye alongside rumoured target Herbie Kane

While Herbie Kane was mentioned in a story by Alan Nixon on Pathreon over the weekend, loan star Ebou Adams is now sought permanently after a standout season away from Cardiff City.

Max Bird has left for Bristol City, and the Rams would be prudent to look at other midfield options as Conor Hourihane, Korey Smith, Liam Thompson, and Darren Robinson have not yet signed contracts.

Here, we’ve selected three midfield players Derby County should be aware of this summer.

David Kasumu – Huddersfield Town

After dropping to League One, Huddersfield Town might lose a few key players, and with Derby County winning the championship, the Rams would be wise to consider recruiting several players from the Terriers.

Midfielder Kasumu, who was born in London, is likely someone who might play a significant role in the team’s promotion, but it wouldn’t be shocking if he attracted interest this summer.

Since his contract expires in 2025, a transfer fee would be necessary. Derby can prefer a lower price even though they are in a greater financial situation.

Lewis Warrington – Everton

Lewis Warrington, the midfielder for Everton, is one inexpensive acquisition that might be of interest.

After a stellar stint at Fleetwood Town, his transition to Championship football with Plymouth Argyle didn’t go as planned. However, with a permanent home and regular game time, the 21-year-old might realize his intriguing potential.

Warrington, who made his Premier League debut the previous weekend, has an expiring deal and might profit from a transfer.

Joe Williams – Bristol City

Bristol City is the final but not least out-of-contract midfield player.

Derby County would undoubtedly profit from bringing back one of the Robins’ midfield players as Bird makes his way to Ashton Gate. Williams, who is 27 years old, is a decent age to join the team, and his championship experience might help.

If he does decide to leave City, he will be one of the more astute additions of the summer. He can play as a defensive or central midfielder.
