The Rams have until the transfer deadline on 1st September to bring in any more players to strengthen their ranks.
Warne has provided this transfer update to BBC Radio Derby: “I’ll hopefully have another player in the building for tomorrow. I’ve said that many times but I do think we’re bordering on agreeing.”
Boost for Derby
Derby need more reinforcements to their squad and are looking light in certain areas, especially in midfield. Teams need plenty of options to choose from with fixtures starting to come thick and fast.
The identity of the target is yet to be known at this stage. The Rams are back in action on Saturday afternoon at home to Fleetwood Town and more details may come to light over the next 24 hours or so.
It has been a tricky start to the season for Warne’s side and they were beaten on the opening day at home to newly relegated Wigan Athletic. They bounced back from that result with a 3-0 away victory at Burton Albion.
However, they were knocked back down on Tuesday night after losing to Oxford United at Pride Park. Signings are needed to lift the fans up again and if they can get someone in over the weekend then that will stand them in good stead ahead of the final couple of weeks of the window.
REAL MORE:
Grimes, 28, has been with Swansea City since 2015. He’s so far racked up 254 total appearances for the club with nine goals and 26 assists in that time, having had the captain’s armband for a while now.
His last contract extension was in 2021. He signed a deal which would’ve kept him at the club until 2025, but now, The Sun reporter Allen has revealed on Twitter that Grimes has agreed a new deal with the club – the length of which has not been disclosed, though.
Grimes has been a key player for Swansea for a while now – the Englishman has missed just a handful of games over the past five seasons, whilst also proving himself to be one of the best passing midfielders in the division.
Reports have linked Russell Martin’s Southampton throughout the summer, with one report in July saying that the Saints were widely expected to move for Grimes. This emerging news though puts fears of a Grimes move to Southampton to bed.
Huge news
Grimes is a key player for Swansea. His leadership and overall quality on the pitch is vital to them, and losing him would’ve been a huge blow.
