£1.4m star jets to England ahead of proposed Derby County transfer

Derby County reportedly agreed a fee in the region of £1.4m for the Djurgarden shot stopper last week, as per Expressen, and the 26-year-old is now said to be on his way to meet the club.

There have been complications over the proposed deal due to the Allsvenskan side’s participation in the Europa Conference League qualifying rounds. Widell Zetterstrom featured in the 3-0 win over Progres on Thursday and is set to start against the Luxembourgish outfit again in the second leg this week.

In between Djurgarden’s ECL qualifiers, however, Aftonbladet claim that the towering goalkeeper is due to meet representatives of Derby County in London.

Bosse Andersson, manager of the Swedish side, confirmed that his number one would be in the English capital on Monday before travelling back to Stockholm in the evening ahead of Djurgarden’s trip to Luxembourg.

Another box ticked for Derby County

The Rams have had an active summer so far, moving efficiently to strengthen key areas within the side.

Paul Warne has recruited six players for the Rams at present, bulking up several positions for the newly promoted outfit.

Jerry Yates has been signed on a season-long loan deal from Swansea City alongside the permanent addition of Kayden Jackson from Ipswich Town to aid the Derby County attack.
