Macaulay Langstaff currently has 20 goals in 27 games for Notts County

Derby County have been on the hunt for another striking option since the start of the season and as the search continues, they have been linked with a League Two star.

The Rams are reportedly, alongside a number of EFL clubs, interested in Notts County striker Macaulay Langstaff.

Langstaff has been excellent this season scoring 20 goals in 27 games for the Magpies whilst also recording five assists.

The 26 year-old has interested Derby according to HITC, alongside Birmingham City, Sunderland and Wrexham.

Furthermore, Derby's League One promotion rivals Peterborough are also keen which could be damaging for the Rams if he signs for the Posh.

It will be tricky for the Rams to land the prolific striker if there is genuine interest from Championship clubs, but Langstaff would provide Paul Warne with a brilliant striking option in a position where the Rams desperatley need to add depth.

It is understood that Notts County would consider parting ways with Langstaff but only for a fee likely over £1 million, which could make it tricky for Derby to land the forward.

Last season, Langstaff was one of the most dangerous strikers in England as he scored 41 goals in 45 games in the National League, helping the Magpies to promotion.

Derby County already have an in form striker in the form of James Collins who is currently on 12 goals in the league. Langstaff would compliment Collins well and Paul Warne would have two proven goalscorers at his disposal should he make the move for the Notts County man.
