Exclusive: What Lee Hendrie thinks about Derby County moving to re-sign Eiran Cashin from Brighton.

Former Aston Villa midfielder Lee Hendrie feels Derby County should take the lead in the hunt to acquire Brighton’s former academy product Eiran Cashin this summer.

However, the current Sky Sports commentator did suggest that a front-runner for the Championship title may express an interest, and the Premier League club may choose to move the 23-year-old there instead. Cashin left Derby in January after 144 Rams appearances to join Brighton for £9 million, but after failing to break into Fabian Hurzeler’s starting eleven, he may be sent out on loan again to keep sharp and acquire more first-team experience.

Express Sport is reporting that According to xpress Sport, Cashin has suitors in both the Bundesliga and the Championship, and if a return to the second division is on the cards, returning to the club where he spent his whole youth career would be an easy way for him to continue his promising career.

Lee Hendrie gives verdict on race to bring in Eiran Cashin on loan

According to Football League World, Lee Hendrie believes Derby County could be interested in signing Eiran Cashin on loan next season. Hendrie believes Cashin is familiar with the club and should play some football. However, he admits that Cashin may be interested in clubs higher up the division, considering Derby’s league result last season. “Having that connection, knowing the football club inside and out, and it would definitely suit him.” Cashin spent his whole youth career at Pride Park before making his senior debut with the club in 2021-22. The Rams were relegated that season, but Cashin appeared in all but five League One games during their two seasons in the third tier, including 21 appearances this season before to his move to Brighton. The 23-year-old has also captained the club on occasion this season, and after helping his club earn £9 million for his services, you’d think Cashin’s standing at Derby is high, and would lend nicely to a potential loan destination in the coming months.Cashin spent his entire youth career at Pride Park before making his senior debut for the club in the 2021/22 campaign.

Eiran Cashin may suit a better Championship side than Derby County next season

Despite John Eustace transforming Blackburn Rovers from a club battling relegation to one sitting pretty in the top six in next to no time, the likelihood is that Brighton may want to send their 23-year-old prospect to a club in a better current position than Derby County.

Despite leaving in January, Cashin ended in the top 15% of Championship centre backs in tackles won, interceptions, and accurate long balls, demonstrating his versatility as a defender and why Brighton paid a significant fee to get him to the Amex Stadium. As a result, you’d expect Cashin to perform well for a Championship-caliber team next season, and even that may assist bridge the quality difference before returning to Brighton at the end of his loan stay. Derby may have emotional value in bringing in Eiran Cashin on loan, but in the end, a move to a side destined to finish inside the Championship top six may be the move Brighton choose to accept this summer.
