Club chief confirms new Derby County transfer meeting as ‘terms agreed’ on key signing

The Rams are set to return to the second tier after earning promotion from League One last season under Paul Warne.

The Derby boss has had little time to celebrate though as preparations have had to come quickly surrounding changes to the squad.

An increase in quality and a general reduction of the age profile was in order, something that has largely happened so far.

However, there are still some key areas that require attention before the window slams shut at the end of August.

Not least at goalkeeper following the departures of Joe Wildsmith and Scott Loach over the summer months.

While Josh Vickers is a capable senior option at Pride Park, attention has turned towards other players in the summer transfer market.

The main contender to be the new starting goalkeeper at Derby this season appears to be Jacob Widell Zetterstrom.

According to reports, Derby have had a £1.4million bid accepted for Zetterstrom this summer ahead of a move.

However, the six-foot, six-inches shot-stopper is yet to make his way to Moor Farm as his side – Swedish outfit Djurgarden – play in Europa Conference League qualifiers.

There appears to be an agreement between clubs that will allow Zetterstrom to feature in Europe before joining the Rams at a later date.
