According to Calcio Spezia, Derby County has a renewed opportunity in their pursuit of Genoa midfielder Emil Bohinen. The outlet states that a change in agent provided Bohinen with the opportunity to move to Pride Park in the transfer window, although no definite agreement has been reached.

Norwegian midfielder Emil Bohinen could potentially join Derby County, where his father played and he was born. At the end of December, Rangers and Derby County became possible destinations, but their initial approaches failed, while Spezia and Bari also showed interest. Venezia's wish to secure a replacement before allowing him to leave has created problems for Spezia's pursuit, providing another opportunity for Rangers and Derby County who are now competing for his signature.
