Leeds handed transfer boost in chase for ex-Rams star

Liverpool could listen to permanent offers for the Welsh international, who is on loan at Bournemouth.

Leeds were linked with the 23-year-old in the last two summer transfer windows, but they were beaten by Derby and Bournemouth.

The brilliant training revelation that will excite fans

Derby youngster Jahmal Hector-Ingram is training with the club's first-team.

In pictures uploaded by fellow youngster Louie Sibley to photo-sharing platform Instagram on Thursday, Hector-Ingram was seen running alongside him and Tom Huddlestone as the players got back to work.

Hector-Ingram will no longer be required by Darren Wassall's Under-23s this season because the coronavirus pandemic forced their season to be cancelled at the beginning of the month.
