Derby County are seeking to add more players to their midfield before the transfer window closes in a week. According to a report from Mike McGrath, the club has initiated a move to sign Hamza Choudhury from Leicester City. The 28-year-old, who has been capped by Bangladesh, has not consistently secured a starting place at the King Power Stadium, having started only 17 league games last season and appearing only from the bench so far this season. The news has resulted in positive reactions from some Leicester fans, with some hoping the information is accurate. In contrast, many Derby supporters have expressed their hope that the transfer does not happen, with some expressing disappointment that the club is targeting Choudhury instead of attempting to re-sign former loanee David Ozoh. Choudhury's contract with Leicester is valid until June 2027, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €4.00m. Birmingham City and Sheffield United have also been associated with an interest in the midfielder.
