With Derby County looking to improve their squad before starting the new Championship season, Paul Warne has said he will look at the free agent market to help do so.
There are a number of out-of-contract Championship players that are looking more and more likely to be available on a free this summer.
Derby need to improve in a number of areas including centre midfield, striker and left back and so Paul Warne could already be looking at a number of these names.
Here are 15 out-of-contract Championship players that would be a good fit at Pride Park if Paul Warne decided to make the move to sign them...
5. Striker: Tyrese Campbell
After a poor season at Stoke, Campbell may be looking for a fresh start somewhere else. He would provide pace at the striker position that Derby currently don't have, a Paul Warne-type attacker. Photo: Ben Roberts Photo
6. Centre back: Yuta Nakayama
Nakayama may want to play Championship football next season after Huddersfield were relegated this season. The Japan international is also well suited to playing with three at the back - Paul Warne's preferred set up. Photo: Ed Sykes
7. Centre midfielder: Joe Williams
Seeing as Bristol City have added Jason Knight and Max Bird, they may allow Williams to walk this summer by not se-signing the midfielder. He would provide much needed depth in the middle of the park for Derby. | Getty Images
8. Left back: Jamilu Collins
Collins could reunite with his former teammate in Curtis Nelson if he was to come to Derby. The left back can play as a wing back which suits Paul Warne's system down to the ground. | Getty Images
