According to The Telegraph, Derby County wants to acquire Derry John Murkin from FC Utrecht on Monday, and it is expected that he will move to Derby before the deadline. Murkin joined FC Utrecht a little over half a year ago from Schalke 04 and is to cost 2 million euros.

Derby County are considering a deadline day move for Utrecht's 26-year-old Anglo-Dutch left-back Derry Murkin. The club has been seeking a new left-back this month, a search prompted by Owen Beck's recall due to injury. It is reported that Derby are hoping to complete a deal for their target before the window closes at 19:00. Murkin joined his current club in July 2025 and is under contract until June 2029. In 9 Eredivisie appearances this season, he has scored 2 goals and provided 3 assists. Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €2.00m.
