Derby County, Sheffield United reduce interest in Daniel Iversen

Derby County and Sheffield United are exploring other options between the sticks after both were interested in Leicester City man Daniel Iversen, according to Alan Nixon.

Derby County are preparing for their first year back in the Championship this season.

They finished 2nd in League One and were automatically promoted under Paul Warne last time out.

Sheffield United are back in the second tier after relegation. The return of Chris Wilder could not save them and the two-time Blades boss is now tasked with getting his club out of the division for a second time.

Iversen, 27, spent half of last season on loan at Stoke City. He played 18 league games for the Potters, keeping seven clean sheets.

He was a highly sought after stopper and has been around the block in his career. Iversen has spent several seasons away from the Foxes on loan, but at times played 12 Premier League games for them in the 2022/23 season.

This summer the Rams and Blades were both interested in him. However, a report last week claimed Leicester City’s valuation was putting off Warne.

Now Nixon has claimed that Iversen’s £1.5m price tag and £25,000-a-week wages have prompted Derby County and Sheffield United to start looking at other options this summer. The goalkeeper is said to be keen on a move, but several clubs are put off by the valuation currently on offer.

Who is this?

THE QUIZ STARTS!

Plenty of experience

The 27-year-old has had several loan spells during his career so far.

He subsequently gained a lot of experience in the Football League. Iversen made 42 League Two appearances keeping 15 clean sheets, 34 League One appearances keeping ten clean sheets and also 87 Championship appearances keeping 29 clean sheets.

The Danish stopper now needs a permanent place to settle. He is just reaching his peak years and with a breakthrough at the Foxes looking unlikely, he really needs a move this summer.

He is a very solid Championship goalkeeper and if an agreement can be reached with Leicester City to bring the price down a bit then it would not be a surprise to see a number of clubs queuing up for his signature this summer.

Next season

Derby County are set for a tough campaign.

Warne’s side need to make it to the second tier and that will be a big ask. Warne has plenty of second-tier experience and has survived at this level before. However, it remains to be seen whether they have done enough so far in the transfer window.

On the other hand, Sheffield United could be contenders again this season. Their summer progress was halted at first due to ongoing takeover talks, but they still have a very strong second-tier squad to use this year.

Wilder’s side struggled last season, but if they can hit it off this year then there’s no reason why they can’t challenge for the top six this time around.
