French outlet FootMercato reports that Derby County have made a concrete offer for Sambou Soumano.

Sambou Soumano will leave Lorient as his contract with the club has concluded. Several clubs in France and Turkey have shown interest in the player, but the most concrete interest at present is from Derby County. The English club is very interested in Soumano's athletic profile.

Senegalese striker Sambou Soumano is preparing to become a free agent as his contract with FC Lorient concludes. Derby County might seek a new forward, given Patrick Agyemang's long-term absence and the uncertainty surrounding Lars-Jorgen Salvesen’s future. Soumano, 25, is considered a potential bargain option. He joined his current club in January 2022, was previously linked with Blackburn Rovers, and has a solid record of achievement as a capable scorer in both of France's top two divisions. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €4.00m.
