According to sources who have spoken to Football Insider, David Ozoh is attracting interest from Derby County. The club wants a permanent transfer for the 21-year-old and is preparing offers to gauge Crystal Palace's willingness to sell. Ozoh has spent the last two seasons on loan at Derby, who had been considered the most likely to sign him but now face significant competition. Palace are prepared to consider offers for a number of young players as they aim to raise funds, which has made Derby aware of his potential availability. The growing level of interest in Ozoh's situation from clubs across Europe has complicated any move to bring him back to Pride Park this summer. While Derby County are still regarded as the most likely destination, the opportunity to play top-division football in England, France, or Germany is likely to be a strong attraction for Ozoh.
