Ebou Adams' reported Derby County transfer bid gets clarity from player's camp

Portsmouth take on Derby in a crucial League One title-decider.

Ebou Adams played a big role in Derby’s promotion and has become a fan favourite

It is no secret that Derby County would love to sign midfielder Ebou Adams to a permanent deal.

It was reported on socil media that the Rams were preparing a £250,000 bid for Adams with Cardiff wanting double that figure.

However, the agency that represents Adams, Epic Sports Management, were quick to deny the rumours, saying “this is not true, I am afraid.”

The Gambian international plays with a high energy style that made him very popular amongst fans after he joined on loan from Cardiff City in January.

He made 17 appearances since joining Derby and became a key member of the starting XI each and every week.

Fans have sent a clear message out to the club as chants could be heard saying “sign him up” at Pride Park whenever Adams got onto the ball.

Following Derby’s promotion, Adams made it clear that there was no certain path that his career is going to take and that he is unsure about his future.

He told BBC Radio Derby: "It's never goodbye from me. I don't know where I'm going to be.

“I've really enjoyed my time and I've loved it here. I've loved it. Honestly, I've enjoyed every single minute. Thank you to the fans, thank you to the club.”

It does seem that at some point, the Rams will make a bid for Adams, however, if Cardiff are unwilling to sell him to a now-rival Championship club, it will be tough for Derby to land the 28 year-old’s signature.

Only time will tell to see what happens with fan-favourite Adams.
