Derby County keen on Sheffield United Man’s departure

Derby County are interested in signing a free agent soon to bolster their midfield, but they have other targets playing in his position.

Paul Warne led the Rams to promotion from League One and back to the Championship this season and is now looking to make a splash back in the second tier.

The Derby boss has a clear idea of ​​where he wants to strengthen and midfield is an area he is looking at.

Derby are interested in midfielder Ben Osborn, who is leaving Sheffield United when his contract expires at the end of this month, according to the journalist. Alan Nixon.

Osborn is available as a free agent and is also attracting attention from Watford.

Tom Cleverley’s team are trying to convince Osborn to accept a move to Vicarage Road.

Sheffield United making a U-turn and offering Osborn a new contract has not been ruled out once they are taken over by new owners.

While Derby are keen on Osborn, they also have other midfield targets they are looking at closely.

Joining the Rams would however represent a homecoming of sorts for Osborn, who spent time in the Derby youth system as a boy.
