Jerry Yates’ position, Patrick Agyemang’s race, and John Swift’s transfer talks

Derby County has a lot going on even though it is the middle of the off-season.

We are excited for the new season to begin, as it will also be manager John Eustace’s first full season as the Rams’ manager since his appointment in February.

The most talked-about topic at Pride Park is Patrick Agyemang, a striker for Charlotte FC, who has been connected to a $7 million move to Derby. Since then, everyone with a stake in the game have been sharing their opinions.

Here, Football League World compiles the most recent information about Agyemang and any other Derby-related events.

Conversation with a former midfielder for West Bromwich Albion

According to Birmingham World, Derby will compete with Stoke City for West Brom’s out-of-contract player John Swift.

After his contract expired, the midfielder was released from the Midlands team after making 36 Championship games for the Baggies the previous season, where he scored three goals and provided an assist.

 

 

Derby may therefore be able to get a good bargain on it, but up to four Championship clubs are reportedly keen.

The Rams will have to act quickly if they hope to sign Swift because the 30-year-old is also said to have admirers in Saudi Arabia, the United States, and Turkey.

It’s unlikely that Derby will return for Yates.

Jerry Yates scored 10 goals and disheveled four assists in 42 Championship games while on loan at Derby last season.

Swansea City, the player’s parent club, is reportedly eager to sell the 28-year-old in order to finance other transfer-related activities, according to Wales Online.

The Rams may have been expected to consider a move after his loan period, but the same report claims that any hopes of an approach were scuppered when Paul Warne left.

 

Charlie Davies and Stuart Holden, former USMNT athletes, discuss Patrick Agyemang

Ahead of the World Cup across the Atlantic next year, former USMNT striker Charlie Davies has praised Agyemang’s suggested transfer to Derby.

“I do like the move in the sense that he’s going to Europe, playing a lot of games, and getting those matches,” Davies said in an interview with CBS Golazo, which Derbyshire Live cited. The pressure and intensity will increase.

“Now, is this Patrick Agyemang’s greatest football move ever? No, but compared to what he’s doing with Charlotte, it’s a step forward.

Stuart Holden, a former Sheffield Wednesday and Bolton Wanderers player who had earned 25 caps for the United States, expressed the same opinion.

According to Derbyshire Live, Holden stated during an appearance on the Alexi Lalas show: “I think it is a step up for a young player because it’s a different kind of task at this stage of his career.

We will see a little bit more from him because it places him in a situation where he will have to develop in order to compete in a different way. We might discover his level at that level, in my opinion.

Lee Hendrie supports the signing of Jon Russell.

Last week, Football League World exclusively disclosed that Derby is vying for Barnsley midfielder Jon Russell with Oxford United, Blackburn Rovers, and Stoke.

Since then, we’ve had an exclusive conversation with Sky Sports analyst Lee Hendrie about his thoughts on the suggested transfer, and he thinks Russell would be a fantastic midfield partner for Ebou Adams.

Hendrie told FLW, “Jon Russell is a more dynamic midfielder who can get forward, join attacks, and score goals.” “So, in my opinion, this partnership would be fantastic in the Championship.”
