His meteoric rise came after a move from non-league side Rylands to St Johnstone in February of this year. Since moving the striker netted five times in 15 appearances and became somewhat of a talisman for the Scottish side who managed to narrowly avoid relegation.
His form also earnt him a call up to his national team, Gambia.
Derby are in desperate need of striker help as they currently only have Conor Washington under contract, but are still in talks with James Collins over a new deal.

Despite Sidibeh’s lack of top league experience, it has been rumoured that the bidding clubs could be looking at a fee of £500k plus for him which shows how highly he is rated by St Johnstone.
Due to the Rams lack of funds compared to some of the other biddinig clubs, it could be tricky for them to land the striker, but if you don’t buy a ticket, you won’t win the raffle.
